Does that bring out the wheel our a little?
Question 2: Can people chime in on how the quality is on these. I need a front camber kit and was planning on getting the rear as well.
Does the rear have an issues as far as spacers? I don't have any room for my wheels to come out more than they are now.

The amount the spacers push the wheel out is negligible. Looks like the other questions have already been answered but if you have any further questions let me know.

The service manual calls for the following specs.
Front Camber
Minimum − 1°15′ (− 1.25°)
Nominal − 0°30′ (− 0.50°)
Maximum 0°15′ (0.25°)
Front Toe
Minimum 0 mm (0 in)
Nominal 1 mm (0.04 in)
Maximum 2 mm (0.08 in)
Rear Camber
Minimum − 1°45′(− 1.75°)
Nominal − 1°15′(− 1.25°)
Maximum − 0°45′(− 0.75°)
Rear Toe
Minimum 0 mm (0 in)
Nominal 2.8 mm (0.110 in)
Maximum 5.6 mm (0.220 in)
My final measurements are well within specs. The car is rock solid and very smooth going down the road, even at triple digit speeds.

As for triple digit speeds, look out for the blue and red. They seem to be out in full force here lately.

FRICK! the other day i finished installing the spacers, and what do you know, ABS, VDC, and SLIP light all come on. but i was sure the positioning where correct. i check today, i look and see that the sensor was touching the white plastic thing. so i try and repostion it so it doesn't touch, and it can't. so i deside to use a rasor blade and shave off a little of the white plastic thing, so the sensor doesn't touch, i was sure that would solve the problem. NOPE. i'm sure i didn't break the sensors, because i was very careful. anyone know what i can do?

Ok, I have spoken with SPC and there shouldn't be any issue with these as this is merely a spacer. The spacer is used to keep the sensor within the same distance from the hub as it is from the factory. The only difference is that it rotates the sensor 90 degrees.
We have had many customers install this kit without an issue. The only problem could be that the wrong bracket was used as they are side specific.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
