don't you get this with a camber kit if it requires it. Also, cant the adjustments to the toe just be done manually while it is aligned. I'm sorry I've never heard of a toe kit, and I've used various camber kits on my cars and have had everything setup perfectly.

It doesn't come with all camber kits, SPC's kit includes the toe bolts,or they can be purchased seperately and used with other kits. All other camber kits use camber arms and "toe" or radius arms to adjust toe, which is the incorrect method, and most sell them seperately, so the best thing to do is to buy the SPC kit, or buy the camber arms from another company individually and purchase the SPC toe kit

ISMSOLUTIONS, i am in NYC. You know whats the best part about the alignment place I went to? I didnt pay them because they said when i get the camber kit come back and we will square off then. F*ck that, they are not seeing me no more. Any suggestions. What should my front camber and toe be at?

Get s-techs for the front and leave the back stock? Only other option I see is to get coilovers and raise the back end up until its even, or get rid of your stereo

alright guys, if i get the stillen toe and cambers i can adjust from stock height to over an inch lower. or does the toe kit only work if you are really low? what i am trying to say is if i lower it over an inch and get this setup and end up not liking it and lower it only like a half of an inch is this still feasible

THe stillen parts will work even at stock height, but I don't recommend the stillen "toe" arms at all, get the SPC toe bolt kit instead if you insist on using the stillen camber arms, or my recommendation is to just use the SPC camber and toe kit, its the cheapest one available and works the best

hey thanks redlude, but why are the spc bolts better. the stillen look better cuz they have bushings n junk. also anyone looking to start a business in auto parts. these look like the way to go. looks like the cost to make these camber, toe kits is like 5 bucks @ the most. and they sell for 700 800. crazy

I just received mine. Ended up paying $234 shipped from partshippers.com. I know others sell it for a bit cheaper shipped but I figured I would give them another try after i had problems with the springs coming in, and this time they were very fast and easy to contact. They look like they can be adjusted a lot.
