Some people have been able to attain alignment w/o the rear camber kit, but don't count on it. I installed the camber kit at the same time as the springs.

Is installing rear camber kit hard? Do they have to remove springs again?
Also it's SPc rear camber kit right?

It is easy and can be done without spring removal. SPC is good stuff.

When I did my spring install I also went ahead and installed the SPC rear camber kit. I however did not install the toe bolts and was able to get the rear back within spec.

The kits either come with them or not, its cheaper to buy the kit with them, because if you need to purchase after the fact it will always run more than buying the kit that comes with toe bolt. Better safe than sorry and just buy the kit with toe bolts...imo

I agree if your gonna install springs, you might as well do the toe bolts. You can take the rear springs out at the same time when removing the old toe bolts anyway.
