Default SPC Rear Camber kit and (Camel)Toe Bolt

There used to be a very detailed tutorial on installing this stuff, I can't find it now that I need it. I know, I know "use the search button", well I did and obviously couldn't find it, that's why I am posting, so save the "search statement". I appreciate any help.

MMMM, why the hell didn't you just send it to me, when I asked you for it in a PM I sent to you? (Which I did the day before I posted this thread. That makes no sense. I buy the part from you, then you tell you don't know where that posting is when I PM you, but you can give me the site when I start a new thread.

So here is my review, that you requested I post: Product came swiftly with everything in the boxes. Little to zero instructions in the box (I know it ain't hard, but shi'ite), then a lame-***, zero-effort response when PMed. So I guess your report card should read

Delivery A+
Customer Service Help (on very simple request) F-

I guess my order for A-arms for the front, has a big ? as to who to order from now.

wow- how about maybe a f-ing thank you instead? When you asked the other day in the PM (which I replied to immediately), I didn't have time to start searching for the thread, but I told you EXACTLY the section it could be found in based on what I remembered. So instead of looking in the EXACT forum section I told you the thread was in, you went the lazy way, and now complain when someone spoon feeds you the exact thread? If you were too lazy to then take that forum location and find it on your own, then that's on you, not me. As for the instructions that are included with the kit, they are provided by the manufacturer.

Customer Service F-

I had that one already, there was another more detailed instructional that covered everything from removing the sway bar to other aspects of the installation. Thought you had commented on that one in the past.

Anyway, you asked for a review and I gave one. Selling extends beyond just delivering the part. Whatever, thanks for what its' worth. The part did arrive exceedingly quickly and hey, I got some SPC stickers for my toolbox.

what he posted is about all you need? I don't know about removing a sway bar to install a toe bolt, camber kit??

least i didnt need to do any of that to install the same parts you got on my car myself.

this is a pretty simple install.

If there is another thread out there, I don't remember it. You don't remove, or even touch the swaybar, to install this kit. The above itutorial, which was posted right in the DIY section exactly as I pointed out in my PM, is quite easy to follow and literally walks you through the install of the toe bolt, just as the instructions included with the kit does. The link I posted simply adds in pictures. If you have questions beyond what can be answered by reading the included instructions, you can certainly feel free to ask, or perhaps you might be better off having the shop you will use for the alignment also perform the install for you. It really is about as easy as installs get, and the included instructions are letter perfect.

selling does not mean extending beyond delivering the part. If you got what you paid for as described that's his job. Anything further then that isn't his obligation at all. So chill, he gave you what you fukcing needed so why are you crying?

How old are you? 10? Are you really that lazy to do a search yourself? Z1 is not obligated to assist you in any way when the goods are delivered, which he did spoon feed you the answer. So don't ******* complain and stop acting like a 10 year old kid.

Since when are vendors also required to teach buyers how to install the crap they buy?

Have you installed these before? You have to move the swaybar out of the way to swap the camber arms. This can either be done by removing the brackets and pulling the swaybar out of the way, or by removing the endlinks and rotating the var out of the way of the bolt, so it can be removed.

+1, I had to remove my Progress rear swaybar to get the bolts out so I could drop the stock camber arms. With the swaybar bolted up I couldn't pull the bolts far enough out as they hit the swaybar mouting brackets.

Actually I didn't remove the whole sway bar, just unbolted the brackets one side at a time as I was doing that side's camber arm.

perhaps it depends on the swaybar then and the design, just like some clear some exhausts and some do not.

That is entirely possible. If I had about 1/2" more clearance from the bar, it would not have been neccessary to unbolt anything.
