Default SPC Toe Bolt install write up with pics courtesy of Protocav.

BTW he is more then happy to install these for you if you live in Socal
Mods can I get a sticky for this thread and a cookie for protocav?

***EDIT***

SINCE LINK ABOVE IS DEAD, ADDED LINK AGAIN HERE:
http://www.batit.com/forumpics/spctoeboltinstall.pdf

ALSO, I have gotten PM's where people have dremeled the camber arm location! MAKE SURE to only SLOT and dremel the TOE LOCATION - notice that the toe location is the subframe SLOTS that are BEHIND The differential. They are the slots where the spring bucket arm attaches to the subframe lug!

I have a pair of these from Eibach, which are made by SPC, in-stock if anybody needs them. $49.00 shipped to the lower 48 US States.

Anyone know where we could get the Dremel cutting tool to make the slot hole bigger?

I have an 04 Z and the slot was not long enough..I'm sure protocav could clarify as he has done this install dozens of times..

Just did the install...took me about 2.5 hours because I like to take long beer breaks Not too bad overall. I did have to unbolt my rear sway bar to get the bolts for the factory arms out, and my borla TD exhaust kind of got in the way as far as dremmeling out the holes from the backside went. Other than that...it was a snap. Alignment tomorrow, and then I'll give my impressions.

i want to get this kit to bring my rear camber back into specs but is it necessary to install the toe bolt also? I had my alignment done and the rear toe is in specs. The rear camber however is at -2.5deg. if it matters...this is lowered on tein basics. The rear is dropped to it's max(1.1 inch).

When you alter the camber you are going to throw the toe out. You're better off getting them both...

im new to the alignment stuff. this bolt is all we need to align the car?

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

You'll need the bolts AND the arms to get back in to spec. It's sold as a kit.
