I have the new SPC arms. I just got my alignment done so I can prob help with your questions.

1. Yes, I am currently running 0.9deg camber in the rear, lowered 1.5" (maybe a bit less than you by the looks of your pic), and we were able to achieve 0.1degree toe in. We could have adjusted either way as well, but I was shooting for a very slight toe in based on RCE's suggestions.

2. The new SPC kit comes with a new toe link bushing which provides additional toe adjustment. It looked like a pain to install, and I didn't want to pay to have a shop do it so I tried the alignment without. Since I was able to achieve the toe I wanted I didn't bother putting them in. I suppose depending on how much camber you want you may need to use them.

Adjusting the rear toe and camber was a pain for the alignment guys, because every time you touch one, the other goes to hell. They were adjusting both at the same time to try and get the best results that way.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
