Default SPL Suspension help, KW coilovers V3

Gonna slap on some KW v3 coilovers on my 370, to replace these eibach pro springs.

KW are not traditional coilovers in the rear, the coil and damper are seperate.

I will be installing SPL camber arms (currently my ride hite at 0.8 drop front, 0.9 drop rear with the eibach springs), will not allow me to adjust the camber to anyfurther than -2.7 with stock camber bolts / setup. So SPL are a must (and best from what I hear). Will keep the coilover ride height around sam hight or hair shorter.

Now, after the camber adjustment I may run into some toe problems. Most people ar installing SPL (or SPC or DME or other brand names) camber arms with SPC toe bolts, which requre you to bore out the ecentric holes where the stock toe bolts are.

I Called SPL, they said to adjust toe, use toe bolts (potential for slipage), buy toe arms (only available for 'true/tranditional" coilover setup in the rear (KW are not), OR buy the midlink (formally only offered for the 350z, now being sold for 370z (only just that they have not updated their website yet - after final measurments and testing has now been completed).

I would potnetially love to use the mid link at some point with the eccentric lock out bolts that they sell.

However, MY QUESTION if in the meantime I just use the SPL camber arms with aftermarket toe (SPC) bolts, will the larger eccentric hole not allow me to install the SPL eccentric lockout bolts in the future (after upgrading the SPL midlinks - which I might add will probably be about 700 - 800 bucks)?

PLEASE LET ME KNOW! Got to get this Z in top notch performance so I can beat all u guys! lol
