They are for the toe arms.

If you want spherical in the trailing arms, go with Cusco or the STI arms. Personally I’d just pair them with a quality poly bushing at the hub.

The camber curve is minimal on the front McPherson strut design.

I got -2.2 with Pedders and lower cam bolts. If I moved the lower shank bolt to the top I’m confident -3 would achieved.

Just the Pedders units instead. Ran those hard for 2 years and had zero issues. Some extra caster was an added bonus.

Simplest way to add camber

The SSC setup requires camber bolts, and they are used with sticky tires. It’s not a problem if installed correctly.

Could be due to the car values skyrocketing recently. Higher value cars mean higher value insurance payouts, and thus higher premiums.

Left turns feels like rear camber is changing?

Definitely sounds like a toe problem. You’re alignment guy will tell you right away. Does it behave oddly under braking vs accelerating?

I have these as well with a similar result (though I’ve backed off the camber due to my wheel setup). Great combo for not a lot of money.
