Lowered my 2011 xS sedan on BC coils last week (26.75" on all 4 corners) and my camber ended up -2.4 front and -3.3 rear. Toe was in spec. Based on my mechanic recommendation I decided I wanted to get closer to factory alignment for maximum tire life so I spent $1k (more than the coils cost) on SPC front and rear camber kit. After install today the front is -1.4 (which I'm happy with) but the best they could do in the rear is -2.9. The camber arms (SPC part #72260) say they allow up to +3 camber so I was really hoping for more than .4 improvement. Do I need something else to get my rear in spec? The alignment guy said he could get the rear more in spec but then the toe would be out. Guessing I need something for the toe adjustment to allow more camber adjustment but just want to make sure I get what I need before forking out more money on this.

I guess my other option is just to leave the rear at -2.9 but if I'm going to do that I should have just not done any of the camber parts and bought a new 4k TV instead.

 

SPC makes eccentric bolts for this very purpose. Usually the camber arms come with the toe bolts.

 

did they elongate the toe bolt holes? that needs to be done so the toe has more adjustability to go with the camber adjustment

 

For that $1k you'd better make sure they included that rear toe bolt adjustment (like PNW_IPL said, that rear kit should include those bolts), and like Saywat said, the toe slot needs to be cut to allow full travel for the new toe bolts. New toe bolts without the slot cut won't adjust any more than stock toe bolts

Make sure they don't charge you any more $$$, you've paid enough!

 

I asked about the toe bolt slot but I'll link him to this thread. They definitely came with them and they weren't in the box of OE parts I got back.

As far as pricing, I'm talking Canadian dollars so thats why it was $1k. Sadly we pay more for car parts up here. At least I got the barely used BC coils for $950.
