My shop thought that they didn't need to install it.. but he had issues keeping toe and camber in spec without the bolts. Did they charge you for the camber kit install? Might as well get them to install the bolts as they were doing it.

Agree. You might need it one day and it does no harm to put it in.

I think the camber and toe affect each other. So if camber is within specs, it might be impossible to put the toe in spec etc.. unless u run more negative camber. It'll probably be better to get both installed. But this all depends on how low your drop is.

seems close.. i think you can get it "within specs" but barely. but id get the toe bolts installed before getting it aligned.
