Default Rear camber arm question

here are the alignment specs for my 2003 350z that is lowered on Tanabe gf210's with 19 inch rims.

My question concerns the rear setting so here are the rear specs.

Rear Left:
Camber: -2.3 degrees (specified range -2.1 to -1.1)
Toe: .11 degrees (.06 to .14)

Rear Right:
Camber: -2.3 degrees
Toe: .09 degrees

Total Toe: .20 degrees (.11 to .27)

My question is this...i have a set of rear camber arms...and I was just wondering if I could get away with JUST installing the camber arms ONLY to get the camber in check while keeping the toe specs in check....I know I know ...just get toe bolts and install them too....I know this...but can someone just answer if just the camber arms would be ok without even mentioning toe bolts?

Thanks!

since your camber is so close to being in spec and your toe is within spec right now by a good margin, I think you could do it.

I wouldnt worry so much about it though, some neg camber is good, your toe is good right now and your tire wear shouldnt be much.

Any adjustment to camber is going to throw the toe off even more. When I got my car to -1.5 degrees of camber there was no way the toe was even close to spec. I know every car is different but with the relatively cheap and quick install of toe bolts whats the point of not doing it too. Toe kills tires quicker then camber..
