Rear camber / toe set which does not hit sway bars?

So I need to get a rear camber arm / toe bolt set for my car. i was all set on SPC before I started reading about the curved vs straight arms and hitting aftermarket sways. I have the Hotchkis sway bar set. Does anyone know what arms are compatible? Everything I have found is a totally straight arm.

I've the SPC, it's straight and very close to my Eibach sway bar, but there's no actual contact. Don't know about Hotchkis.

Doesn't hit on compression? That was the issue I had seen when digging through old threads. Hotchkis bar is 28.5mm and apparently Eibach is 29mm. Do you have the SPC SPC72260?

I've never heard anything go bang, and have never seen any smash marks. I believe these parts travel together, keeping an equidistant clearance. No, I don't know the part numbers. Bought the SPC arms and toe bolts here in a FS thread like 5 years ago.

I may not be the right guy to give you a solid answer. But like I said, small gap, no problem, SPC and Eibach.

I have the Hotchkis bar and SPC 2nd-gen parts and have no known contact. I can't remember whether the curved or straight camber arm is 2nd-gen.

I have the SPC straight arms with the Hotchkis sways on my 07 x sedan...no noises or contact ..I\m not sure if the actual camber you run or ride height makes a difference though...I'm lowered on swifts

It's not the camber that is of consequence, it's the arm used to manage the camber that can cause interference. If the stock arm can do it, you're golden. If not, you worry.
