Spacers with camber??
I was just wondering... and yes i did do a search but couldnt find what i was looking for. Im dropped on Eibach sportlines (1.2") and my wheel specs for the rear are 275/35/19... i bought the SPC camber kit and installed the camber arms.. i adjusted them out as much as i could... However, i have not installed the toe bolts as its hard finding someone who will be willing to elongate the holes!.... can i use 25mm spacers in the rear to bring out the tires at the top since there is still a slight camber angle... Will these spacers be bad for the rear tire wear??... Or will the spacer really have no effect?..
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!

yOU WILL BE FINE with the spacers.
elongating the toe bolt hole is not hard at all! you should try and knock it out yourself. There is a DIY thread linked around here somewhere. ill try and find it.
the toe bolt hole you need to elongate is aluminum and when you use a rotory tool on it, its like cutting butter.......really it is! super easy.
if not i hope you find a shop willing to do it.

yes - the farther you space out the wheel, the worse your camber and toe become. That is ridiculous that you can't find someone to install the toe bolt. Not sure who you are calling, but those are some lazy, lazy shops. How do you know what your camber and toe is without putting it on an alignment rack? Any shop that does alignments will easily and quickly be able to install the toe bolt. Doing it any other way, is at best, a guess, and that defeats the purpose of having the adjustable parts in the first place
