That is absolutely correct. That is the company that makes them. They do not sell direct to consumers. I got mine from www.iapdirect.com Price was $219 shipped for camber arms AND toe bolts. As for elongating that hole. The camber arm has no bearing on this as the hole you are enlarging is the mounting hole for the toe bolt. This is simply to add a greater degree of adjustment with the new bolt.

Layed it out in the GTG thread but basically I agree that this thing is running pig rich and seems to be flooding the cylinders. If I slip the clutch and keep it above 3k in 1st and 2nd it does fun. Anything else and it bogs and dies...no word from Brad yet...

Wholly molly that's low... looks better than I thought it would

Have you seen the deal from KINTEX...?

http://www.kinetixracing.com/index.a...&ProdID=8&HS=1


I'm a little confused as to why some kits have a large toe bolt in their kits and the SPC has a small one? Does anyone know???
I haven't gotten under the car yet and inspected all the pieces involved.

I wouldn't buy ANY of the Kinetix stuff after some of the stories I heard. As for toe bolts i think SPC is the ONLY compant that provides toe bolts like that. Everyone else tries to use the "Traction Arms" to get their toe in spec. For the most part it just makes things worse..

Interesting... thanks for the input

The SPC deal seems pretty good, I saw it on ebay before I saw your link.

So why do they say the "Traction Arm" will bring your toe back into spec? That kinda makes me angry that someone would sell a product that only "half" fixes the problem!

I also noticed Stillen and APC arms have a different type of link at one end. A fully pivoting joint verse a semi solid polyurethane bushing. Is one better than the other?

Thanks

I've heard of two problems with the traction arms...First I heard it will not get you car back into the correct toe tolerance no matter what. I also heard that even if it does it messes up your Caster.
