I think your pics are switched, the top one appears to be the camber arm, and the second pic is the radius "toe" arm

Why they didn't make these earlier, and why didn't I wait... I just ordered Eibach camber kits too.

Those would have went well w/ my Cusco coils

I like the "this product must be used in Japan only" comment

Part "A" in the picture is a adjustable length radius arm that they label as a "toe" arm. Its similar to many of the kits from stillen, megan, etc. If you look at it, you'll see that adjusting the length of that arm will affect 2 different planes of suspension geometry, not only will the toe be affected, but so will the rear "caster". The wheel will be pushed further back in the wheelwell and will no longer be centered. This issue has been brought up many times for all other camber kits that use this method for toe adjustment. Only the SPC toe bolts adjust the camber correctly by utilizing the stock adjustment location on the spring bucket. Using that method, only the toe value is changed when making the adjustment on the alignment rack. Also, the SPL midlink's correct for toe in the right way also by being able to adjust their length
