You're not really drilling holes, just elongating them. This is this only true way to adjust toe. Don't be skeptical, it works great & brings the toe back into spec.

IceBurnzTT,
Nismo suspension drops you about 3/4 of an inch. It's a nice height. The car is more hunkered down, but it's not slammed on the ground like a riced out civic. If you plan to track the car, the handling benefits are far more important than the aesthetics anyway!

Ok, I just re-read your opening thread. You should save your money on your suspension, your stock set up is giving you exactly what you want. Instead buy an extra set of tires and wheels for the track. Then take J Ritters advise and buy RA1 on that extra set and a set of extra brake pads! Then put these tires and pads on at home, drive to the track, have a ton of fun, drive back and put your stock ones back on.
For Track events:
First spend money learning how to drive
Then spend money on safety
Then spend money on reliablity
Finally, then spend money on making the car go faster.

The extra wheels and brake will mean that you worry as much about wearing things out at the track.

He is correct. I have confirmed this with people that have extensive track experience and knowledge. I have the SPC set-up on my car with Tanabe POR-SOC coilovers. The SPC bolts and radius rods are the correct way to adjust camber. Using "camber arms" alone to adjust for camber can creat problems with the wheels caster adjustment. This will creat other susppension problems. Don't take shortcuts. Do it right the first time or be prepared to do it twice ( that's fun with some things ..wink wink... but NOT THIS!!)
