Sounds like complete BS to me because they are completely separate entities, but perhaps it's true. I don't know. I cant say for sure but I tend to not believe that.

Yes, technically they are different parts, however I haven't seen any of the vendors here selling the rear camber kit without the toe bolts that I've noticed. Have you?

No. You have to dremmel the hole out about 1/4" wider in the rear crossmember so it can move that much further. You can adjust more than stock.

I havent installed my kit yet, but this is possible. Your moving about a central point. If you reach a certain deflection on one axis, it will eventually start to affect other axes as well. The center of the wheel is moving about on an xyz axis. If you max x out, y will start deform since z isnt adjustable (with OEM links). I'll be able to tell you definitely later this week, when I install mine. Knowing what I know about suspensions, this is totaly plausible. I looked at your specs and they were pretty far off. You must be really slammed? Your SAI (steering axis inclination) is even out and thats hardly ever out.

How are your tires wearing with that much negative camber? How many miles do you have on them? I guess I'm going to run OEM upper arms until either SPC redesigns them or someone else comes out with some (besides Stillens for $1100).

That's beyond reasonable...That takes away from the handling completely. I don't see the point of making something handle worse.

I'm sure it's still a head turner though....
