Why do you guys keep saying the old ones arent adjustable. I have no problems aligning my old style spc arms.

Make sure both nuts are against the arm.

When you do this they both lengthen. It's hard to visualize it so just try it. Install them. Tighten the outer jamb nut against the inner nut. Tighten the pinch bolt on the arm to keep the camber from changing. Take it to an alignment place.

I installed mine yesterday and had it aligned an hour later. The car feels tight as hell now with the hfp suspension and alignment. Progress rear bar goes on if i need the rear end to rotate a little better. I didn't have to explain my setup at all to the guy that did my alignment, I watched him and he knew right what to do. He said these arm are easier to adjust than a lot of other kits he's seen. The main problen is that you need some big wrenches. I think the large nut is a 32mm and the biggest I had is a 24.

what Ubetit said. Hold the "big ball thing" still, it shouldn't rotate. use your hands to rotate the large nut to the correct length. since the threads are opposite, both will come in or out depending on which way you rotate the large nut. when the length is set, just lock down the small nut and the pinch bolt.

to install, you only need a wrench big enough to tighten the small inner nut, the alignment tech will take care of the big inner nut. Its an easy install

i'm planning on getting these too. Is the front camber necessary? on a 1.5'' drop? do you have the front ones too? How's the tire wear with out them?

might as well get the front bolts while you are doing it just to be safe for camber.
