20x9.5 et+6 (with 5mm spacer)
20x11 et-1

Do you guys think i need the front camber or shud i settle with the rears only?

You might need fronts...because if there isn't enough induced camber from lowering it you will rub like crazy

Mine was slammed too and perfectly in spec with toe, but camber was really bad, once i got those camber arms and started turning them the toe was pushed in dramatically. :eek: looked pigeon toed

im sticking with SPL, but to each his own.

Okay here's my two cents.. It's not going to matter what brand you get, they will all accomplish the same thing. You'll probably adjust it one time then never touch or see the part again. :p

Flushnimso, what are your specs for front/rear camber/toe/caster?

I just installed spc rear cambers too but without the toe bolt because i didn't have the equipment to extend the hole with a grinder. if i have too much negative camber on the rear right now, do i need to install the toe bolts to get it closer to -1/0 camber?

I was thinking the toe bolts would not matter and have nothing to do with the camber since it adjusts the toes only. Right now im maxxed out on the rear with kw v3s with 25mm spacers too. my toe is in spec with factory toe bolts.

Toe bolts adjust toe only, but the camber arms move both... You should be able to get the camber pretty close to -1, but toe bolts wont affect the camber

Even though I have the SPC kit and they have always held up great. I've always wondered about them slipping under hard cornering. But you would probably have to be pushing it pretty hard. They just have to be made sure there torqued correctly.

I would have choosen SPL if they didn't wait years to release a front camber kit.

That is whats stuck in my head every time i make a hard turn too.

Once SPL comes out with the front adjustable arms I will switch.

I personally like the SPC rear camber adjustment better than SPLs though.

Looks like im going to have to install the toe bolts, COBB aligned it for me today but couldnt get the rears closer to -2!! the best they could do was -3 or there would of been crazy toe causing more tire wear.

See...you NEED toe bolts to get the camber straight :tup:

FYI, SPC part number 72260 includes the toe bolt. It is impossible to buy just the camber arm alone. You use the adjustable arm and you reuse the stock adjuster for camber and you use the supplied adjuster for toe.

SPC part number 72265 is just two of the bolts, which is why you don't get as much range out of the camber adjustment.

My car is lowered an inch and both the rear camber and toe are way out of whack.
