Swift springs installed with rear camber arms and still couldn't get alignment back to specs. Need to get rear toe bolts and front adjustable arms because the left and right are just too different. Really wasn't planning on spending money on the front but its just too different from left to right. I will post pic of results later.

Tell us your camber arms too.

PS not sure why everyone wants spec! If you modded the car to handle better OEM spec is the worst specs you can use.

I don't mind the negative camber in the front but the left front is a lot different than the right front. If they were closer in range I would be fine with it. You can actually see the difference

I believe you, I'm off 0.5* left to right. But don't shoot for spec. Specs under -1 while the rear spec can go as high as -2.1. Those numbers need reversed and I'd always shoot for a -1* difference. So maybe -2 front -1 rear to save tires.

Yes, you can install the springs without having to buy a camber kit. However, if you want the rears to match the front camber wise, you'll need at least a set of rear camber bolts. Nothing needed for the front.

...BUT if you install the rear camber arms and attempt to get back closer to stock camber YOU WILL require the toe bolts too....
