I was able to get an alignment more geared towards performance without the rear arms. But if you want to get back to stock alignment specs then you might need those arms, although some guys are getting very close to stock specs without them...

It seems to be hit or miss since every car is a little bit different. I would get them regardless just to have that adjustability... and to not have to mess around with ordering, installing, then going back for another alignment if you find you can't get to the spec you want without them.

Are not the arms for a drop of more than one inch? Or any drop?

When people talk about SPC camber arms and products. They refer to them as decent. Many say that there isn't a good camber kit out there yet? What do SPC or other companies lack in their kits that make them only decent? Just curious...

bushings vs ball joint.

on my G35C running prokits + d-specs i have rear stillen camber arms that have ball joints. one can nail the angle and the joint keeps consistent.
