Here are pics from my Battle Version set:

Lenght: Toe 18.5'' & Camber 12.5"


Extended: Toe 19.5'' & Camber 13.5" (Perhaps unsafe to extend any longer, I dunno)

Who sell's these? What is the price? I assume these are much better than the SPC camber/toe kit? Thanks.

I purchased my set thru Option Imports:
http://www.optionimports.com/bavesu.html

I believe you have to call them, for this item:

Here is what I paid for the Control Arms:

- Camber Link - $275 Shipped
- Toe Link - $275 Shipped
- Plus CA residents 8.25% sales tax

In my opinion I prefer the Battle Version's instead of the SPC kit.
BTW don't forget www.battleversion.com

Are these necessary for a mild drop ~ 1.0"-1.25" in the rear? Or will the SPC kit do?

What is more important Camber or Toe with that kind of drop? I was thinking of getting the Battle Version Camber, since it looks much better than the SPC, but the SPC toe bolts as well. Will this be fine?

After dropping exactly 1'' from stock my alignment was out of spec, front and rear both camber and toe.

It's not about which is more important, however it's a critical factor to attain proper alignment.

I chose the complete set of "Battle Version" control arms, because they allowed me a FULL RANGE of adjustability. Beside, I don't like mixing components, because its NEVER been tested.

So what's difference between this system and some of the other contenders?

Some of the other systems will bring you CLOSE to spec, but NOT in spec. See what I mean!

So with a 1" drop front and rear, the SPC kit will not bring it into spec? What did you do about the front camber?

SPC Kit
Personally I have not tried the SPC kit, so I'm not sure.
However, you may be happy with them. I'm just not a fan of Toe bolts.

Front Adjustment
I'm in the process of purchasing "SPL PRO Front upper arms".
This product just became available as of Sept. 2006.

http://splparts.com/Parts/Z33/Suspension/Multilink/

Front adjustment details:
Camber adjustment approx. -2deg to +3deg from stock.
Caster adjustment +/- 1 deg from stock.

For my front Toe, there was enough adjustment with the OEM parts.

Wow, that's a very interesting design. Please post a review when you get them. How much did you drop the front and rear and how much were they out of spec?

For a true coilover rear, like Stance or Buddy Club, you have to leave the rear spring perch in place to use the toe bolts, correct?

I know you guys can't speak from experience since your cars are lowered, but do you think correcting the camber on a stock ride height car/stock suspension would run the factory toe adjustment out beyond correction with the Battle Version camber kit?

My stock suspension with 9.5" x 18" wheels has my camber way negative. I just want to get the camber corrector without getting the toe stuff- it looks like that would require coilovers unless I buy the SPC kit.

Theorically speaking the "Battle Version Camber control arm" plus "Eibach Toe bolts" should work with your stock suspension!
