anyone installed the spc arms and bolts?
Well, I know the arms won't be a problem, but for the toe bolts, the instructions say I need a #85126 rotary file to elongate the oe slot. Anyone know which rotary file, or for my sakes, what it looks like, and brand? Is it a bit for a dremel or is it something totally different? Anyone wanna help me? hehe. Thanks.

Sounds like it was meant to be used with a power drill. The number must correspond to a particular diameter. Looking in google.com....it is a bit I believe. One that will be needed to ream out a hole.
BTW, on one of the bolt mounts...there was an issue about the hole placement to be a little too short for the adjustable version to bolt in. I guess this is what you are experiencing.
Suggestion though..is that if you are going to be doing the work yourself.....lift the car, and hold the new parts to the area on where it is going to be going in. This at least helps me in giving me a visual clue on what is supposed to be removed, how its going to be mounted in, and the orientation of how it is supposed to be mounted.

I have those Kinetix rear camber kits for my G. Never got around to installing them yet. However, it may seem like I wont be getting to them soon. Got injured at work and now healing another dislocated shoulder.
I never got around to doing them because Ive been looking for another job and seeking to buy a home.

Hey Black350GTCan you adjust toe also with the Kinetix rear kit? I was looking at getting the whole kit (front/rear) but I heard the fronts suck. Lemme know how the install goes. I wanna do my own too.

Dang D... Heal Up man... Hope your doing okay though...
plus... I thought you had already installed the camber kit that's why you were rubbing fenders... it's going to get worse when you do install them... dang....

Beangrower, did you ever figure out what it was you needed to install the kit? I asked around and no one I know here has put in the SPC kit yet. From what i've been reading though it's the best way to go as far as rear camber/toe correction. I'm thinking about going that route instead, but just hope someone has a #85126 rotary file. Lemme know how the install goes. Thanks - Bobby
