Ive also been told that the SPC toe bolt will not fit so i would have to drill the hole bigger? Is that true?
Yep. The SPC Toe bolts are basically the same as stock with a more aggressive cam lobe washer. To allow for the extra adjustment the mounting hole must be elongated to allow for full range.

I will be adding Swift Spec R springs in the next few weeks, what determines whether or not you need to use the toe bolts?

You should be fine. Usually those who lower their car quite a bit are the ones who end up needing the toe bolts.

I could not find a DIY for this mod, and went ahead and started the install. I put the rear camber arms in with no problems. However when installing the Toe Bolt and enlarging the hole I made the hole larger for the toe bolt that goes were the camber arm goes and not the spring bucket.

Below is a DIY for the 350Z that states this goes were the spring bucket goes.

My questions... Obv I have to remove those bolts now and place the stock ones back on. Did I **** up my cars toe by making those holes bigger?

If the SPC toe bolts fit in that location I would keep them there and buy another set for the correct location.

^ Can't I just put the stock toe bolt and put the SPC in the correct location?

Or can they dial in the Toe thru that spot?

You probably can put the stock bolt back in but I don't think you will be able to get your camber back to perfect since the smaller cam lobe will be pretty much useless with the larger slot. If you plan on tracking it, your camber may even change due to the high g-loads as it slips back and forth in the oversized slot. You really need to have the correct sizes cam lobe in there to retain full functionality. That being said, if you put the stock bolts back in, it won't harm anything or cause damage. For the $30 though I would definitely buy another set for the toe settings. What you did is just basically given yourself even more range of adjustment on camber instead of toe.

Here are the instructions:

http://cdn.splparts.com/tech/SPLHADJ.pdf

Mods, If the OP doesn't remove / correct this DIY I would suggest deleting this thread before more people follow this nonsense and possibly destroy their $280 arms.

This issue might have been corrected on the customer's alignment, but I don't think it should have left the shop like that even in a simple measuring tape install / alignment.
bigdog1250 and Mengly like this.

What is the point of toe bolts if you have to buy them separately, I lowered my car on Stance coilovers and want to adjust my rear camber but dont know what i need.

Default SPC camber arm & toe bolt

I just installed the SPC camber arm & toe bolt. I used "white out" to mark the area of material to remove when installing the cam bolts. Also helps a bunch when you have the right dye grinder bit. Grainger had it along with cutting oil. 1/2 the price of SPC although SPC has 2 bits in the kit, I only needed 1.

Is it safe to assume that car can be driven to shop for alignment after this DIY?
