Well I was disappointed with SPC quality honestly. the cam bolt did not fit into the cam washers but I made it work. Drilling the holes in the subframe was a pain in the rear though. I didn't drill wide enough because it was just hard on my garage floor. So we couldn't get alignment completely back to OEM spec. Toe is good, camber in rear is -2.3

huh, that sucks about the SPC quality. but good job making it all work.

as long as toe is good, some extra camber is fine, imho. that will give you more cornering grip anyway.

so, looks like time for stillen swaybars. jk

I'll let you know about them. I want to read more a bit about the different sway bars. There is quite a diverse range of stiffness (from my understanding stillen are softest and Hotchkis are most firm)
