Yes, you can install the springs without having to buy a camber kit. However, if you want the rears to match the front camber wise, you'll need at least a set of rear camber bolts. Nothing needed for the front.

...BUT if you install the rear camber arms and attempt to get back closer to stock camber YOU WILL require the toe bolts too....

The rear aftermarket arm DOES have a world of adjustment, but ONLY for camber...

the toe settings on the stock bolts can only adjust for the limited range of the stock camber arm. If you exceed that limit by using aftermarket camber arms YOU NEED the aftermarket toe bolts to get your toe back to zero (after moving camber beyond the range of the stock camber arms)

...just buy both!

Gotcha. Or make toe/camber bolt lock out plates like me. Instead of drilling the hole center, just off set it. For $0.75 at 12" you can make about 8 of them till you get it right

But what about traction arms? Kinetic says you can do toe with those but spl doesn't say anything.
