Do I Need a Rear Lock Out Kit with Ichiba?

OK, So I have installed the Ichiba rear camber arms along with the toe bolts that came in the package. I had my alignment done about 2 weeks after dropping it (Tein G35 S-techs/Tokcio HP Blues). The rear drivers side is now seriously cambered in while the passenger side still looks pretty good.

I did some searching and noticed some people mentioning the SPL Rear Camber Lock Out Kit/Plate and was wondering if anyone thought this was something I need? Is it the same bolts that came with the ichiba arms?

So I'm wondering if A) I need this kit, B) TiresPlus didn't tighten everything down correctly, C)Something else f'd-up, or D) I'm a cheap a$$ for buying the ichiba arms?

Thoughts anyone?

I'm thinking it's B through D.

From what I know Ichibas don't offer a whole ton of positive adjustment as compared to the other products on the market, but it shouldn't be THAT bad.

I've never heard anybody that had to buy a camber lock out kit with my brief experience. I'd probably go take it somewhere else.

The Ichiba front arms do not offer any more positive camber adjustment than OEM. The rears however offer a ton, I think up to 3 degrees.

However read what I posted earlier in another thread.

They are supposed to be re-branded SPC arms, but I have never heard of anyone that has this issue with the SPC arms. Also the Ichiba rear toe bolts are cheap as **** and will strip on you quickly. Holding up an SPC and Ichiba TB side by side you can visually see the difference. Here are a couple of threads for you guys to read.

This was out of one of those threads.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm going to try the SPC bolts since they are not too expensive and it needs to be realigned anyway.

I'll post results after talking to the alignment peeps.
