1) it's your toe settings, not the arm.
2) if you are ever worried about bolt movement, mark the rear camber washer against the arm so you have a point to measure against. just because you can torque the bolt more doesn't mean that something is actually moving. Like this:

3) see #1.
4) get an alignment before passing judgment.

Keep in mind just how small the toe measurements are too. I have 0 front toe, and 1/16" total rear toe in (not per side). There's no way you can eyeball 1/32" per side, even 1/8" per side would be hard to eyeball.

well im not claiming to say i adjusted toe and its aligned. In fact i hadnt even touched toe but i just know its out of spec.

judging on the comments here, im guessing everyone had their alignment guy torque or tighten the Camber bolt on the SPC Arm. No one did it themselves?

I'm sure everyone tightened everything down after it was installed. Unfortunately it's hard to eyeball a lot of the adjustments. You will be feeling better after the alignment :)

I torqued all the bolts to spec myself and got an alignment. These SPC arms work just fine and don't make a lot of noise.

Just because the wheel looks straight doesn't mean it's aligned. I guarantee your alignment is way off, most likely on toe.

Did you not read my comment?

Just because you can tighten it more doesn't mean it is not tightened properly.

If you must know, I tightened mine perfectly fine. Never used a torque wrench.

After alignment and several track events, the bolt has yet to move. Marking is unmoved also.

Edit: here's your original post:

I hope you realize that torque spec is a function of the material of the bolt and the size of it. See this for some overview info:

We at AZP have installed no less than 50 of these SPC arms. Mostly on street driven (Really bumpy NJ and NYC Streets) as well as our own Project BRZ street/track car as well as our Spec86 Cup wheel to wheel race car.

We have also aligned these cars as well. None of our own nor any customer cars have come back due to any handling or bolt losing issues. All alignments were done on our Hunter Hawkeye Elite Aligner.

I would say our sample size is probably larger than most. The key is proper installment and setup of your suspension before jumping to the conclusion that the parts are bad.

i installed mine this weekend and had an alignment done. I was told that I still have too much toe with just the arms and i need to find another adjustment alternative.

can anyone chime in on this? I have rs-r super downs with -1.3" in the rear. it seems to me that there should be enough factory toe adjustment to compensate for it. i really dont want to buy toe arms or use the offset bushings.

That is really strange. You are only dropped on springs and only have -1.3 camber and they can't align the toe within spec? I don't mean to be rude, but i think you may need to find another alignment shop.

The SPC control arms come with new toe bushings with a bigger adjustment range, just for that very reason...

As for if there's enough adjustment or not, it all depends on how much camber was dialed out, not the final camber.

im sorry, i should have clarified i am -1.3 inches lower in the rear.

no worries, 1.3 inches in the rear shouldn't be a problem. The alignment shop should be able to adjust accordingly. @wparsons had good input as well.

"by hand with crescent wrenches" is not "by hand".
