SPC Rear Camber Adjusters

hello everyone
quick question.
i lowered my Si 1.5" with MEGAN springs.
i was looking around to look for camber kits, and came across
these "SPC Rear Camber Adjusters".
can i get these instead of buying the camber arm kits??
(can save myself a bill)
it says:
* Perfect for stock ride height and LOWERED cars!!
* Amazing SPC Quality cannot be beat!
* Improves handling on wet and dry conditions


what do you guys think???

thanks

Do you have a pic of the "SPC Rear Camber Adjusters"? As far as I know, SPC only has camber arms for the rear and camber bolts for the front.

Cool, The full rear camber kit adjusts -/+ 3 Degrees, These Adjusters go -/+ 1.25 Degrees and retain your stock upper control arm, not bad of an idea.

You'll use the oem arm but first press out the rubber bushing then press in the new bushing that is in the above picture.

so do you think -/+1.25 is good enough for a 1.5 drop??
also..i checked out the instructions for installing this at the SPC website. . and it says i also need to buy the PRESS TOOL*. . .

is this a must to install these adjusters?

Knowing how much camber can be adjusted with this setup would be awesome. Any insight fellas?

Thanks!
