The room is there and neither end of the arm shares the same points as either end of the spring bucket. You don't even need to drop the spring bucket to swap out the stock toe bolts for SPL/SPC toe bolts. You simply put a jack under the inboard end of the SB to hold it in place while you remove the stocker and slip in it's replacement.

Sorry, you are correct. I meant the toe bolts. I don't see how you can enlarge the hole without dropping the bucket. Swapping only the bolts back into the OEM holes isn't going to help you gain any additional toe adjustments. Maybe SPL is different, but for my SPC kit, I had to enlarge the holes.

You are absolutely correct about having to drop the spring buckets to enlarge the holes. No other way.
I read camber arms. Toe bolts you do for sure.
On the day of my alignment one of my two SPC toe bolts failed (stretched) and wouldn't lock up for the tech. I had a second pair but left them at home (who da thunk I'd need them) so he popped a stock toe bolt in. So, I have a spare pair of SPCs if anyone would like them. After that, I recommend using SPLs, but I really think it was just a abnormality. There are too many SPC toe bolts out there on the rear of Gs and Zs for a failure to be anything but a very uncommon event.
