Default Rear camber Kit question

hey all
i just installed the HKS Hipermax RS coilovers in.
shop had to slam the back of the car to get it to be at the oem height for some reason.
but anyways, that made the wheel camber in REAL bad. i look like a really bad civic on cut springs in the back lol.

the front looks fine.

i found these two kits.

what is the difference between the adj camber arms and the kit w/ just the bolt?

which one do I need?

the front is ok, so i dont think ill get the control arms.

thanks everyone

Just go with the SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts. It all comes in one kit for the rear only. I bought mine for $130 shipped. Most people I've seen on here, this is what they use.

Has anyone come up with a toe solution for a non full coilover suspension without having to do any cutting/dremeling to the car i.e toe bolts?

there is no correct way to adjust the camber without doing this.

There is no way to do this with an off the shelf item you mean.

The real way to adjust camber would be to adjust through the rear upper control arm (RUCA) but we do not have new RUCA's available on the market. Changing camber through the RUCA will not affect toe

So for now, we are all stuck with using the camber and toe arms.

The new SPL lower/camber link and mid/toe link will allow for camber/toe adjustment without requiring any dremeling, and will retain the separate spring (non coilover) setup on the rear.

Here is a slightly old picture of the first prototype. They have been revised slightly since then and should be released for sale next week.

you should go over your install or have an experienced shop go over your install for you, as something is wrong. At their highest settings, the HKS RS are just about at stock height

Given the low price, strength, and ease of install, the SPC kit is your best bet, bar none

The most simple kit is the SPC camber arms with the toe bolts. You can get the Eibach kit too because it's the same SPC arms and bolts and can often be found for less money. It's no big bead to use a dremel to elongate the toe bolt holes. It shouldn't take more than 10 minutes total.
