Toe bolts more important than camber arms?

So I just got swifts installed on the 370z and the shop said I should for certain buy at least the SPC toe bolts since toe affects tire wear more

Default Toe bolts more important than camber arms?

So I just got swifts installed on the 370z and the shop said I should for certain buy at least the SPC toe bolts since toe affects tire wear more than anything. I though on the forum that with the swift drop nothing is necessary to get my alignment close to normal. Doing research just now I see that it seems that rear toe bolts are not necessary because the factory adjustment is enough to get it to normal? I'm now confused and want to make sure I don't buy something I don't need if I'm able to get alignment close to normal w/o. What would you guys really recommend with a swift drop? If I go with rear camber arms is it not necessary to get toe bolts also? will the rear camber arms also be able to adjust toe?


EDIT: also, is this kit http://www.zspeedperformance.com/SPC...7-spc72265.htm


the same as this one? http://www.kamispeed.com/SPC-Rear-Ca...FYxaMgodEToAbg


because if it is ill be all over the 1st, crazy cheap price.

you should have no problem getting toe back into spec. I'm on coilovers, probably about half an inch lower then swifts and my toe went back to spec fine without any aftermarket. my camber on the other hand.... lol. But I don't mind the camber too much since I autocross so I use a mild camber to keep it daily drive able without too terrible of tire wear.
