When you get the toe bolts installed without the camber adjustment arms, please post your before and after alignment specs. I'm still skeptical and I want to know for sure.

This is the best find ever. Good work Nismo and OMG35

I pretty sure no one knew this and if they did they would never have bought the $150-200 kit (including myself on my 370z!!!).

When I get my coilovers its the 72265 kit for me!

Yeah.. definately a good find...

Honestly though I think the arm is superior than the bolt. If I would purchase coilovers I would probably buy the arms because you may decide to go lower. With a moderate spring drop I don't see why you would need the arm.

I wonder if I will only need the rear camber bolts if I lower my car with eibach springs.... it is only a 0.8" drop on the rear.

The lesser price kit comes with Toe Bolts, and Camber bolts.

I see. So it's toe bolts plus separate bolts to adjust camber? Anyone have a photo of what the actual camber bolts look like?

I'm w/ Black Betty on this one. I would say with ANY coils adjust you'd need the entire setup. I don't see how just the toe/camber BOLTS allow you to adjust the camber that much

They are essentially the same as toe bolts.

Page 6 is the camber bolt, page 7 is the toe bolt.

It's easier to replace with an adjustable arm, as grinding the hole there is a pain!!!!

Got it. If it means elongating another set of holes, then its well worth paying the extra money to not have to do that. That makes me feel better. Lying on my back in the heat with safety goggles fogging up every couple of minutes to keep metal shavings out of my eyes isn't my idea of a good time. That was absolutely the worst part of the install. The camber arms don't require this, but the toe bolts did. I wouldn't want to have to do it twice.

SPL makes lockout camber bolts to use with the adjustable arms, so the eccentric is no longer used, and relies just on the new arm.

I'm glad you understand now... We all wish we didn't have to enlarge the holes.. It sure makes the install a PITA..

I'm back and forth whether or not to get the arm or not. I may decide to go with coilovers down the line so I might benefit in ordering the camber arm.

My vote is for going with the arms.... you get the adjustability for whatever comes your way as well as a little more "bling" to look at at under the car.
Lets face it... people spend more on crap like engine bolt dress up kits (which I think do nothing for the G's engine bay) than slick suspension pieces such as this. Besides what BB stated about the b!tch it is to elongate those holes.

72265 x2 = $80-$100 corrects camber and toe for the rears, that's what i have with s-techs for the rears. and s-techs are already pretty slammed. so yes. spc camber kit (72260) on ebay for $130 shipped brand new, pretty much $30-40 more to correct 1(-,+) more degree of camber on each side. If you want it for looks, buy Ichiba which is red.

Is it worth $300 bucks not to elongate those toe bolt holes? If so you can run the SPL traction arms for toe adjustments + any camber arm kit and not have to drill anything.
