^ Make your offer so that the total comes out to be $70 shipped and they'll accept.

Toe bolts, I got it as an under the table type of deal, so I can't help you there. However, if you PM various vendors here, they'll give you a quote for the toe bolts shipped to you (just have to find the cheapest one).

Hey, I tried to install this last night and it didn't work out. The end of the camber arm where it's supposed to slide in between 2 aluminum plates (the inner end) is 1/8" too wide compared to the OEM one, 1 13/16" and 1 15/16", respectively.

Jason is helping me out with that issue by asking his co-worker to machine off 1/16" from each metal things that attach to the inner end. (Thanks again, Jason)

I spoke to the eBay seller about this issue and he told me that he's sold hundreds of these and this was the first time he's heard of this complaint. Hopefully, it's an isolated issue, but I'm just forewarning you.

How come you don't ship it back and have him replace it? That's what suck about no-name-brand stuff, its a hit or miss sometimes. Not to say the good stuff is perfect either, they just have better q&a most likely. Sucks you have to go through with it.

I'm not going to bother shipping it (which will most likely be at my cost), wait for him to send me new/revised ones, then install it (then alignment). That takes way too much time and effort.

Plus, I just got new rear tires mounted and balanced last night (DT mounted one of them the wrong way so I had to get it fixed this morning - double the waiting), so I don't want to keep driving around with the -2.1º camber that I have in the rears.

What tires did you end up getting? Damn sounds like you've had no luck recently. No wonder I stand in the bay and watch them work on my stuff.

Yeah, I wasn't very pleased with the way things turned out, but the issues are being remedied.

I got the Continental ContiSportContact 3.
