Sounds like you'll also need the camber arms for the rear. Eibach or SPC offers the Toe Bolt and Camber Arm in a kit for around $245.00 which we also sell.
How's you front alignment specs? Might need some adjustable A-arms to get that to the specs you want.

im curious because after my 19's and 1.5 inch drop, the stock camber/toe's were bottomed out during alignment and i still wasnt back to spec. my stock ones bottomed out at -2.5 and i need to be at -2.1

I read that the SPC arm is adjustable. Adjustment Range(degrees) -4.0 to +4.0. How is this done and is there a need to. Can we install the arms straight out of the box

The arm is threaded so you can adjust the length then lock in position with the jam nuts.

Has anyone tried the STILLEN REAR KIT (REAR CAMBER & REAR TOE ARMS). Do these require cutting as well? For the price it better! ($760).

You need to adjust the camber arms to the same length your stock ones are and re-install everything. You can't guesstimate the length they need to be. Make them the length of the stock ones and then when you get the car aligned they will adjsut the arm as needed.
