Default SPC Toe Bolt Issue

Hey Everyone...I recently purchased a Eibach Camber Kit with Toe Bolt and I think I was shipped the incorrect Toe Bolt or Washers...

In the picture I took below, the washers do not even fit over the tip of the bolts...

I looked at the SPC Instructions that were included with the Toe Bolts and the part Number is labeled either
1. 72050
2. 72260
3. 72280

However, the washers that were included with my Toe Bolts are stamped with the number 72056

I went to the www.spcperformance.com website and took a look at the picture and it showed the one washer near the head of the bolt and the second washer near the middle of the threads as demonstrated in the picture from the SPC Performance website...

Am I crazy...or did you guys have to dremel out the washer as well as elongate the hole on the vehicle itself...or did I just simply get shipped the incorrect washers...






The above picture is from the SPC Website showing how the Toe Bolts should look like


Thanks a lot guys!

Dude.....those are the wrong bolts!!
The eccentric washers are correct (72056), but the bolt is definitely wrong!

The SPC toe bolts are milled flat the entire length of the bolt so that the washers slip over the bolt all the way to the head for the head side one........

wrong bolt!

review my "SUSPENSION 101" thread...

Damn I just clicked on this thinking that the bolt might of cracked or something. But yeah I just installed these and you have to just dremel the 4 holes. Nothing else, how did you pay for your bolts just curious?

They were included with the BC Coilovers that I received!

The Vendor has confirmed that they were the wrong bolts and has already shipped them out and they should arrive Friday!

Thanks again everyone!
Then your going to adjust toe with a adjustable radius rod?

If you are, that's not a good idea, the factory doesn't adjust toe that way for a reason.

Or are you getting the SPL rear mid link?
