I only have a 1.2 inch drop on the rear. I want to get it back into OEM specs.
I know each car is different but how much camber and toe does a 1.2 inch drop usually create?

IMHO, the Eibach is still the better buy...not much more $, more adjustment, but we can get either one if anyone wants

Really? SPC made a whole new arm for the Ichiba kit? I know the Ichiba kit has a 72056 part# which is similar to the 72050 and the 72055 for the toe kit, I always figured they just used the same arms and just painted them red, hence the part number change. Visually, the bushings look the same, how did you confirm the bushings were different? I don't see how the adjustment range is different either since the threading length on the arms is essentially the same.

I've held the Ichiba one in my hands and the bushings are very glossy - the SPC/Eibach ones are very dull in appearance and even appeared a bit 'thicker" if I could say. The adjustment ranges came straight from my call to Ichiba yesterday, so just figured I'd pass it on fwiw

Do the ichiba arms have SPC stamped on them?
i think the Ichiba specified range is the same as the SPC range, I think when SPC states +/- 4 degrees, they mean +2/-2. I know for sure I can't get even close to +4 degrees of camber correction with my SPC arms even when at their shortest
