SPC Toe the only way?
Please guys, from your experience, when lowering about .8, are the SPC Toe bolts which require grinding to oblong the adjustment holes more, the only way to bring the rear Toe back to the "perfect ideal" location? When I install my new Cusco rear camber adjustment links to bring the camber back to the ideal tire lasting location (stock), will the Toe be way out from "perfect", with out enough adjustment?

With our rear suspension design, as you get camber back into spec, say from really negative to more positive, your toe will be come in more, in other words aspect ca,ber/toe gets aligned the other gets misaligned. Id say you have a 50/50 chance at aligning the car with the camber arms, and the very small amount of stock toe adjustment via the eccentric bolt-your drop isnt big. But as a precaution and to avoid the chance of having to align again later down the road, Id buy the SPC toe bolts from www.iapdirect.com and have them installed at the same time, I have these and Kinetix camber arms and my camber is acceptable now with almost a 2" drop. Good luck.

Ya, I find it hard to believe the JIC rear Camber adjustment arms only have negative adjustment. The JIC Magic website says "correct uneven tire wear or add negative caber for racing". I assume "to correct uneven tire wear" means add positive camber. I just don't like the idea of grinding on my car. I guess I will if there is no other way.

there is no physical way the JIC arm works differently from any other arm...it is fully threaded so provides positive and negative adjustment
2 degrees is really not far off from stock at all out back, and pays big dividends in terms of handling (and wont affect tire wear at all from my personal experience)

I just swapped out my rear tires and they were worn horribly. I have the Hotchkis springs which lower about 3/4" and the inside of each tire was showing belts while the outsides still had a slight about of tread left on them. So I am assuming I need some camber arms to correct my negative camber issues. I looked on the website posted earlier for the toe bolts, but couldnt find them. Anyone have a more direct link?
I am looking into the Kinetix camber arms for $199. Any comments on these??
