Just got camber kit installed now need toe arm?

First off what I thought i needed was a toe bolt.. But according to the dealership is an actual toe arm.. Since I got my camber kit and aligned my camber is in spec but toe went out of spec..

So do I need toe arms or is dealer just trying to sucker more money from me.. I was told by the shop that installed my camber kit I need toe bolts!

I'm confused as to what i need toe bolts or the actual arms..if I need toe arms cheapest I found was spc for 350 does that sound about right?

toe bolts is what i would go with, i read that the toe arms arent really good since it would change the geometry of the suspension.

im lowered with camber arms and toe bolts and after taking it to a shop the specializes in alignment, im in factory spec range.

im pretty sure the dealer doesnt know about toe bolts and the elongated holes being able to get you into spec. go with toe bolts and take it to a real alignment shop

all you need is toe bolts.


when purchasing a camber kit, toe bolts should be included as well.

what camber arms did you go with?

The toe bolts should have been with your kit Ross, and you need to drill out the hole for more adjustment. Search around for the template, its here.

I ordered the camber kit off here from a vender who proceeded to tell me I dont need toe bolts so I didnt get any.. Then When I got them installed the shop said you NEED toe bolts..

So I ONLY need toe bolts then what are toe arms whats the point?

dealer is probably confusing themselves...

vendor shouldnt give bad advice like that. toe is what kills tires not camber.

how much are you dropped? cause stock toe bolts have some play. The minor the drop the better for oem.

Well I am on 350z S-techs so its a decent amount.. I was just aligned yesterday and My camber is back in to spec but then pushed my toe out of spec..

which is why the dealer said I need TOE Arms..? Dealer said there is already toe bolts and they were confused by what I was saying.. Which then later confused myself..

Found Toe arm for 350 dollars
http://www.g35parts.com/G35-350z-Sti...s-p/308335.htm

If I only NEED toe bolts then Ill go with that.. But I fear if I bring it back to dealership for alignment they will say sorry We cant align it right you never got toe arms.

first off dont go to the dealer for alignment.

toe bolts are all you need.

oem toe can be adjusted to near oem specs with S techs.

as one stated above.. TO install the new toe bolts the dealer is going to need the template to drill out the hole. the template should come with the toe kit, but if doesn't the dealer wont know what to do and say it doesn't fit.

all you need is this second pic.

camber and toe is a one piece. but making it a two piece will be removing the toe bolt.

this kit alone is cheap in price and will get you in spec.

they came blue...

from what I know ichiba is always red in color. Blue is another brand that is similar to ichiba.. I might be wrong.


edit.

Cuzco camber kits are normally blue
