but if you had actually took the time and read that thread, you would find that if you add one you will need the other as well

you've seriously got to be kidding? Did you READ the thread or just the title? You asked for a spoon fed answer and I just handed you the biggest spoon available...

Adam, the link you provided is for Procav's excellent spc elongated toe cam bolt install how 2. So he does have a point, it doesn't cover how to install the camber arms. Though as Z04 abrubtly points out, he's missing the bigger picture. You can't adjust camber without being forced to doing something to get more toe control. One, takes away the other.

As mentioned, installing camber arms is a in and out affair. Though, one should make sure the arms being installed are preset to be exactly the same length as the oem arms coimming out. This will make life a lot easier til you can get the car on the rack for a alignment. Mute point however, if nothing is done to get more toe control then the oem system allows.
