I am in the same situation. I installed cusco zero 2 coilovers and looks to be like I am going to need some camber adjustmensts in the rear. I was quoted $425 for SPC camber kit installed...and my question is, are there any way you can get cheaper ones? and will it make a difference?

The SPC camber kit for the rear works just fine.It also includes toe bolts.From what I found it's the best price.Unfortunatly there are not many choices for the front.I happened to use the cusco a-arms.They worked for me.I did all the install myself.This suspension is easy to work on.The alignment was done by West End Alignment.

Yeah, I think I am gonna get mine done at west end this coming week too. From my experiences so far and from what I've heard from other people, West end is probably one of the best alignment shops.

Camber kit

Does anybody know if the just buying the camber rear/toe bolts for $90 does the job, or is it necessary to buy an entire kit???

If you are dropped only 1 inch you should be ok.You do want both. Look around, I think you can find them cheeper than $90 ,unless that is the installed price.

Not sure on the front kit as SPC still has theirs in development but the SPC rear camber arms with toe bolts are available for approx. $219 shipped. I wouldn't pay much more than $100 to install them as the camber arms install fairly simply and the toe bolts require just a bit of hole elongating. You can find them at: www.camberkit.com Hope this helps.

im using the SPC rears (www.iapdirect.com)and 350evo fronts. the 350evo (www.350evo.com) fronts are a bit pricey but def worth it IMO for the adjustability and quality of them. Plus the customer service from both IAP and 350evo was awesome!

I ordered some SPC Toe bolts only (have LSD camber bar's from a long time ago) and 350evo front arms yesterday and both iapdirect and 350evo shipped it out the next day. Any company that can ship next day gets an A+ in my book. I can't wait until I get them and install them. Hopefully I will be back to spec.

Alan, tell me how your car turns out after taking it to west end. I called them today, but they only work on the weekdays which sucks, because I work during those hours. I was going to have them install the arms and do the alignment.

(take a peak if they have a balancing machine too.. Hunter brand).
