the Ichiba are definitely cheaper than the SPC. I've used them for almost a year with no problem whatsoever, but I just replaced them with SPL ones. You might see a set for F+R very soon in the marketplace.

I replaced them for no real good reason, other than that these SPL ones come with non rubber bushings and since I am changing out all of the bushings on my car (cause of old age) I took the dive.

Yeah, the ichiba rear camber kit comes with toe bolts.

The camber kits don't make any noise at all and the bushings in them are in practically brand new since I've only driven the car for a 1000 miles in the last year.

Really haven't thought about price yet, but I'm guessing somewhere in the mid 300s for the Front and Rear.

+/- 3 degree of camber for the front
+/- 4 degree of camber for the rear. Not sure how much toe it can adjust though.

As a reference, I'm dropped 1.5" all around with Tanabe pro5 coilovers and my alignment specs are all within factory spec with room for more adjustment.

Sure, I'll let you know first. I'll send you a PM when I do, but they will definitely be available for sale within one month.

If you're going to be slammed, there's a good chance that the ichiba front arms won't get you back in factory specs. It's rumored they only offer about 0.5 degrees of positive camber adjustment up front versus the SPC kit that offers 2 degrees of positive adjustment. Search other threads on the ichiba fronts and there are a fair number of people who weren't able to get back into spec with them.

I'm not gonna be back in specs with my wheels I don't think.. The fronts are 20x10+11 with a 235/35 tire..I plan on tucking the tire.. Can someone verify if the ichiba kit will work for me.. If not I guess I will have to get the spc kit..
