Camber kit concern

What's up fellas. So my bc coilovers came in today but before installing them I want to get a camber kit and toe bolts. I have a few questions before ordering them. Btw I will most likely get a SPC camber kit. I won't be slamming my car so I'm just going to get rear camber kits. Now on to the questions:

When I see the kit online the title says "camber kit/toe kit" is the toe kit considered the toe bolts?

Is it one bolt per each side of the car?

What is the purpose of the toe bolt?

Is the camber kit something you slap on and call it a day. Or is it something that has to be adjusted?

Thanks

What is the purpose of the toe bolt? corrects the toe, kind of like how camber adjusts the angle /-\

Is the camber kit something you slap on and call it a day. Or is it something that has to be adjusted? Unless you don't care about how your car drives anymore and like eating through tires than it has to be adjusted and aligned. Toes bolts with require you to use a dremel to cut the toe bolt hole wider.

Thanks

Expect to get an alignment immediately after you install it if you do... your alignment will be all kinds of crazy.

With all the threads about lowering you would think an easy Search using the words "Lowering" would come up with a gazillion answers to thirtyfizzle's question! Any time you lower your Infiniti, camber kits are required! Doesn't matter if you're going to track your car or not, tire life will be diminished if your alignment is set close to or better than factory specs. Rear camber kit includes adjustable arms and toe bolts one for each side. Front include adjustable a-arms, one for each side. Alignment is required after install! BC coilovers and a camber kit should make your G a dream to drive...Enjoy!

I've read a bunch of threads but couldn't find much about the toe bolts. Thanks for the info though. Also is the toe bolt something you just install and tighten or does that need to be adjusted as well

Just tighten it up & leave it to the alignment guys.

You adjust it to whatever camber angle you want or until no more rubbing, /-\ or \-/ consider the slanted lines your wheels. Or just pre adjust it to exact length as your stock arms & leave it up to the alignment guys.

So the alignment guys will mess around with the camber arm and toe bolt to the get the best alignment? Also would it be wise to let the coilovers settle for a week or two before getting an alignment.

Just leave the toe up to the alignment guys but usually they will ask you where you want camber to be & where it should be is up to your drop, tires, wheels. No one will be able to answer that for sure on here. Some people let it settle, some don't. I got an alignment the day after.
