Urgent help on rear SPC camber kit please

i installed the SPC rear camber with toe bolts lastnight but i think i elongated the wrong slot. I elongated the camber adjustment slot and installed the toe bolts instead of the spring bucket slot. is it okay?
Toe bolts are use for camber arm or spring bucket? How many thread do you set for each end of the turn knuckle of the camber arm? i set my at 6 threads at the end of each turn knuckle, help please

It should be fine in that spot, but you'll need 2 new toe bolts to install on the spring bucket so you can adjust the toe, otherwise the camber arms won't be enough to get back to decent specs. As for how long the arm should be, adjust it so its the same length as the stock arm, and the threads are even on both sides. The alignment shop will then adjust them to the correct length when they perform the alignment

SPC Arms/Toe Bolts....!

I had mine installed last week along with my springs. Had to explain to everyone why they were needed, and handed them the install instructions.
Even then I had to show them where and what needed to be elongated.
These guys have been in business 20 years, a weeks later I had the alignment
done....right back to factory specs. WTF they work.... Should
have gotten a discount for my knowledge....yea right!

i undo the installation today. I removed the SPC toe bolts and put in the factory toe bolts and use only SPC camber adjustment for now. it work pretty good with Eibach swaybars and Stance coilover.

Thats probably not the best idea, because once you elongate the holes on the end of the camber arm, then the factory eccentric bolt doesn't have enough material to grab on to and can slip out of place much easier. I would reinstall the SPC bolts and purchase 2 additional SPC bolts to install on the end of the spring bucket.

What if you used the toe bolts and placed them where the oem eccentric bolts are WITHOUT elongating anything? After reading this I realized...HOLY **** what I had done...I took it for an alignment and everything was in spec on the rear?

If you don't elongate the holes, then you won't gain any additional adjustment over stock.
