Camber/Toe bolts for $85 vs. $175 arm pkg?
I'm just not sure but I have to ask.....
I saw on eBay that you can buy a full set of camber/toe bolts (total of 4 - 2 for each side) to setup/align your camber and toe angles, and by a great amount I'll say.
If these bolts can change the angles of camber and toe by -3 to +3 then couldn't we just buy and used these with our OEM arms to adjust? It would be ultimately a bit cheaper.
Looks like the Eibach/SPC are about ~$175 shipped.
If I'm wrong, please let me know.

Yes you can install 4 of the SPC eccentric bolts to gain additional adjustability for camber and toe, but the amount of money you will likely save in cost, you will pay for in extra installation cost and ultimately less adjustability. You will need to elongate a total of 4 holes instead, which is somewhat time consuming, and the camber arms are just a better solution overall.

Thanks for the reply guys.
Texasscout - Yeah, I was looking at an installation manual and saw that the toe bolts are used with the OEM bar and that metal is cut out. I forgot to mention that.
redlude97 - You brought a good point. The time it takes to cut the metal is potentially longer than replacing arms. I read a tutorial on this site, forgot the link, and the installer suggested using the Dremel #115, I think, and says it cuts through the metal like butter! In that sense, it couldn't take thatttt long or that much more of an effort because you have to cut one hole per side for the toe bolt anyway....that's my figuring.
I figured that -3 to +3 is def enough for the normal out-of-range misalignments. I'm at -1.7 at the most..and figure just bolts will be enough to get it all back in spec. I think...they both have their pros/cons but the 4 bolts seem like a cheaper alternative in some sense.
Do you guys think we can suggest this manner of adjustment for the rears, to our members, instead of having to buy arms?
