I got my BC coilovers in today as well as my SPC rear camber arms.

I've been doing a little research prior and ran into some things that are concerning me. I've been able to answer a couple of my questions, but would like some guidance on others.

First I believe I figured out the preload on the front and rears. 4-5 on the fronts and 8-10 on the rears.

Next is the SPC camber arms. I ordered them and then I found thread debating curved and straight arms. From what i was reading, SPC switched from the curved to the straight correct? Hopefully I don't have an issue with the arms hitting the sway bars. The item number i have is 72262, for g37/370.

Next I was reading about having to shave the metal for the SPC bolts? Is this still necessary? If so, does anyone have a tutorial in the forums for it, because I can't find one.

I guess I should have did a little more research lol.

Anyways, I appreciate your time!

This is on a 2013 sedan 6MT

Check this download for the toe bolts, I prefer a dremel w/ a thin 1" cutoff wafer (they come in multi packs, get about a dozen), this allows you to keep the tool perpendicular to the slot, much easier to see what you're doing. If you need the wafer to start out a bit smaller just grind it down a bit on some scrap metal.

That actually helps out a lot. Does anyone know about the curved/straight arms? I seen a lot of people with issues with the arms interfering with the swaybars, but was this fixed?

Just finished up everything. With a 1.5 inch drop all the way around front toe is in spec and camber is at -1.3 and -1.8. The rear camber was adjusted into spec with the SPC camber arms. however the toe on each side is at .8 and that's the best we can get it. So I will definitely need to install the toe bolts!

Hope this helps anyone else that is attempting to skip out on the toe bolts after coilovers!

Ok, i'm a little paranoid with all this. After doing some some research on the forums, it seems like my toe is out a little more than usual after lowering the vehicle. I understand that i need to install the toe bolts, but does .8 degrees of toe for both sides seem like a lot to anyone else, or does it seem normal?

MUST install BENT arms with slotted holes if you plan to install sway bars.
