I needed rear camber arms, toe bolts and front upper control arms to get everything into factory spec.

If you buy the SPC/Eibach rear camber arms, the toe bolts will come with the kit. May as well install them.

Running Eibach Sportlines without the camber/toe kits. I'm sitting pretty low. Just had an alignment done 2 weeks ago. Couldn't adjust camber but toe only needed a slight adjustment. Unfortunately San Diego roads are pot hole ridden so any slight bump could knock you out of alignment quickly.

I was able to get my toe specs in the rear almost to zero with the Pro-Kit with the OEM toe adjustment. Our cars eat the rear tires quicker than the front so this is where I'd focus my $$$ to save $$$.

Thanks! i just ordered the Rear Camber kit with Bolt. 63$ each, thanks to tirerack whole sale prices for now i am going to ignore the front tires until decide what to do. Once i install the rear camber kit and get everything aligned especially correct the toe issue, i will post another picture of the specs. Thanks everyone!

No need to zero out on toe completely either, but get it within spec.
i wish i could rotate my tires, its a small price to pay for directional tires

Where did you order these from? Tire rack?

Directional tires can be rotated, too, you know. I have mine dismounted/re-mounted to opposite sides.

The rear camber arms normally come in pairs. Eibach's part number should be 5.72260K. Sounds like you got a pretty good deal.

Check out SPL Parts as well for alignment kits. I already have the Eiback Pro Kit installed in the rear and I just got some G37 coupe 19s installed yesterday. It turns out however that I couldn't get both the toe and the camber in spec without throwing one of the other out of spec. My mechanic referred me to SPL parts and they sell an adjustable lower control arm for the 07+ sedans which will allow for a wider range of toe adjustments vs the bolt (mine's maxed out). Pricey though but I'll probably get these sooner or later.

So you already have an Eibach rear toe bolt kit & arm, are you certain that the toe-bolt slot has been elongated (if you had someone else do the work)?
My drop is about an inch lower than Eibach and my toe was easy to get in spec w/ the SPC toe bolt kit.
If you have only the OEM bolt slot then yes, it' easy to max out the adjustment and still be out of spec there.

You'll need a true rear coilover set-up to use it.

I'm also blnewt on this, there's no way they can't adjust things back to spec, with an Eibach drop, on a properly installed aftermarket toe/camber kit.
