Default "Best" Camber/Toe Kit

I'm about to replace my tires due to premature wear from incorrect camber and I need your opinions on a good camber kit that will adjust camber, and toe if available. Are there certain ones I should stay away from? Do they squeak? I know my alignment is maxed out, but I don't remember what the specs were. I'm dropped on RSR springs so that drop isn't too excessive so the kit I need shouldn't need a huge range of adjustability. I know SPC has a great one for the price but requires modification. Are there any that do NOT require modification and is just a bolt-on? I also autocross so I need something strong/stable. Thanks ahead!

i would say SPC camber arms and Toe bolts. I've been doing research for almost 6-7 months already and this combo seems the best for daily drivers and cost effective. for the front i would say 350evo or cusco.

He hit the nail right on the head for the fronts. The rear setup, you also can go with JIC and Stillen

The only CORRECT way to modify the toe is the SPC toe bolts. The other companies supposed "toe arms" will alter it but will through off your caster...

I'd have to agree with MIAPLAYA. I have the toe kit, but didn't need them because there was plenty of toe adjustment left for the mild 3/4" drop in the rear. I did, however, take apart the adjustment link, and learned how toe adjustments are made. I have no doubt that the toe bolts is the best route to go since it retains the same adjustment methodoligy as the OEM setup. Enlarging the existing slotted hole is not as bad as it's all made out to be.

I want to know this as well. What is the "best" way to adjust toe? On most other cars I see all have rods to make toe adjustments. Can anyone prove that the rods through off the caster?

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Z1, looks like you have the "Cusco lateral/toe arms" one your car but you don't have it on your website. Do you have these in stock? How much do they run for? And is this the set you are referring to that works like the SPC that adjusts like OEM?
