I am lowered on H-Techs and I have the SPC/Eibach Camber kit 72280. The guy at the alignment place can't get my alignment within spec. He said that he can get the camber or the toe, but not both. Do I need the 72265 bolts in addition to the 72280 arms? Or do I need a new alignment guy?
The best he could get was -1.1 degr camber and .31 degr toe.

Re: Rear Alignment on Lowered M
Are you talking about the rear? Im having the same problem with my M45 lowered .9 in the front and 1.1 in the rear with 20" rims. I just got back from the alignment shop. I'm not sure on my part number but the tech showed me the catalog and I have the rear arms SPC/Eibach for the G35. He was saying I should need the rear bolts or have a shop fabricate it. He also said he can only get the camber or toe but not both. what kind of camber kit do you have for the front?

OK, so I called SPC to figure out what was going on. It appears that I should have everything I need, just not necessarily installed the way they need to be installed.
The 72280 comes with both a control arm and an extended range toe bolt. The trick is, you have to file out the toe bolt hole to get the extended range needed. Luckily SPC posted a great how to on their site!

Now I just have to make sure that the extended range toe bolts are installed (there are some used bolts in the box with the original control arms so I should be good). If they are installed I can just file out the hole to allow for more toe range and then I should be GOLDEN!
