Did rear arms and still cant get the camber in

Put arms up front, both radius and toe arms in the rear and the front came in -.4 and -.8, good enough.

The rears I can get the negative camber I want but the toe goes way out, even with the arms in place. I can't get enough toe out of the eccentrics. I am assuming those with a drop have done different toe eccentrics? I already blew through a set of rears in 3K. The alignment is killing me. Suggestions. My rear was only a .8 drop. Currently I am scrubbing the tires off with a -2.9 and +12 toe. PITA!

Kentix. I also replaced all the bushings with whiteline. Went through the whole suspension. Used Kentix for the front and they were spot on. Can't figure out what the hell is going on in the rear.

You need aftermarket toe bolts. When you install them you have to enlongate the holes so you can get more adustment out of them....

I never understood why people buy Kenetix. Just the name alone steers me away. That and no vendor on g35driver sells them is a good indicator on the company.

I see SPC has camber and toe bolts. I assume since I have both sets of arms then I just need one set of bolts as opposed to both? Still seems odd to me that with both sets of arms in the rear I can not pull camber and toe in spec.

I have SPC arms and toe bolts in the rear, I could pull positive camber and no toe if I wanted to. With these suspension parts, you get what you pay for.

camber arms do just that...adjust camber. They do nothing for toe.

If you're looking to get added toe adjustment you need aftermarket toe bolts (like SPC) and perform the DIY to your rear subframe to elongate the toe holes to get the necessary added toe adjustment when dropped.

+1. Camber adjustment and Toe adjustment are seperate. The camber arms are offset from the center of the wheel so as you increase/degrease camber you change the toe at the same time, as a side affect. Depending on how much camber adjustment you need, you can easily and quickly surpass the range of adjustment for the stock Toe ajusting bolt.

This....^....is your answer, you can have read adjusters but without the toe bolts you'll never get it back to OE specs.
