/SPC Camber Arms Installation\

I installed SPC front camber arms last week. Thanks to everyone who talked me into buying the SPC arms!!!!!

After the alignment (before the arms were installed) the front camber was -1.25ºL, -1.66ºR. I installed the arms to give them the most positive camber without using the spacers. To make sure I have enough positive camber and room for adjustment, can I install the 2º fixed spacers and add some negative camber to the arms?????

Thanks,
Aaron

Ok, I'm an idiot. I guess I was too tired to realize what I actually said.

What's the best way to get the most positive camber to be within the correct specifications?

Adding the SPC spacers/shims will give you the most positive adjustment.

You should be able to get close to stock specs with just the arms but if you want to be 100%, the shims will get you there.

I installed the spacers today. There is definitely a positive and negative swing now.

I used five thin washers on the passenger side and only two on the driver side for the VDC sensor. Is that normal? If I didn't use the five, it would have been touching the bearing. It's difficult to see exactly how much room there is between the sensor and the bearing. I don't have any warning lights on the dashboard, but I haven't tested if VDC works either. I guess I'll try that soon when it rains.
