I thought you had a complete set after you picked up my 20mm's. Hit up Josh@Stillen pm him, he is always on this forum.

Sigh.....me too I have mine scheduled with my installer for next Sat. It should work out as I am pulling the trigger on some RE-11 tonight hopefully just trying to hook up the deal locally at Tognotti's thru a friend. Hopefully better price than Tire Rack's price @ $1,239 shipped. I can negotiate as I will be buying 8 tires (for 2 cars).

They were the only things that got my camber back in a decent range for the settings I was looking for. I believe I posted here previously what my rears were set to. I want to say they were set to -1.00. Again it's probably on the far end of OEM spec. It's a personnel preference on what camber setting you are looking for SO NOT EVERYONE MAY NEED TOE BOLTS. It depends on the setup you are looking for.

I cannot remember (I have the alignment sheet at home) and I know I said for the fronts I have -1.5 and -1.6 although it might be -1.4 and -1.3 with a difference of 0.3 between front and rear is what I was trying to achieve. Which would put my rears at -1.00 and -1.00.

I think that is what mine were with the Eibachs which I wanted more of a 0.3 difference between Fr and Rr so I had to go with the TOE Bolts.

REAR CAMBER KITS CAN BE ORDERED WITH OR WITH OUT TOE BOLTS. I have always gone with the TOE bolts in my kit when ordering just in case I need them. Separately the TOE BOLTS run about $75. But ordering with the KIT there is a big savings. Nick@THMotorsports can hook up anyone needing Camber Kits with or without toe bolts. Your car looks great!!

Yep, I purchased them from Josh a couple of days ago. I was going to wait for the DRM's but I could not wait any longer. So I pulled the trigger on the DRS's =). Should be here soon. Thanks again Zforce!

You got some top notch quality spacers going with H&R and actually you are probably better off with the DSR's (stud replacement) as in less lug nuts to tighten down...IMO. Glad you were able to pick up my last set. When you get everything installed and aligned post up some pics and especially the alignment print out sheet.
