This install has been exclusively written for and use with THMotorsports.com These SPC Adjustable Rear Camber Arms are very well built and the install is pretty easy to do with the exception of the Passenger side. This tutorial is done without removing the cross member so it does make some more work but it is entirely possible to do. The drivers side will take about 20 min that includes jacking up the car and removing the tire.
Here are the Adjustable Rear Camber Arms. These are much bigger then I thought they would be but here are some pics so you can compare.
Driver’s Side:
Jack up the car and remove the tire the first 17 MM that you need to remove is here.
Follow the camber arm up to find the 2nd 17 MM that you need to remove.
Compared once off.
Now re install be sure that the side (non adjustable side) labeled “IN” is in towards the center of the car.
Passenger Side:
Now this is the side that will take the most amount of time as the limited amount of space you have to work with. First you need to remove the Torx 15 screws out of the box mounted to the plate. (These are the hardest things to re install just warning you now) Once removed you can push it back and bend the plate in and get the bolt out. Sounds easy here but it is a HUGE PITA. Once you get that bolt back in bend the plate back and re install the Torx screws.
Once you have them bolted back in you can adjust. These are not the easiest things to adjust and will most likely require removing the wheel to get in there to adjust them. The big nut at the end is used to lock against the smaller reverse threaded bolt for fine adjusting. Once you find where you like them lock the location using the pinch bolt which is an allen key and (10 MM I believe)

You can get your adjustable links pretty close by putting one of the bolts through both the old and new link on the same end next to each other. Then you can extend the adjustable link from 1/2 to 3/4″ longer than the stock link, which will get it in the ballpark to deal with most drops.
