But would these alter toe just like lcas do?
But pressing in and out the bushings could be harder and more expensive than just buying and installing the $200 SPC LCAs. I was thinking of the H&R camber bolts, or just dremeling the stock LCA and using a washer (making a SPC clone), but in the end LCAs aren't that tough to install. I'm like many, I just want to bring my rear camber in a tiny bit after lowering.

This got me wondering so I looked into it. They don't need to be pressed in and out to adjust.

True.. but I don't know much about pressing, and it's actually more work than just replacing the LCA since you need to take the LCA out to press it right? I think the SPC LCAs would be easier to adjust also.

Pressing is mearly renting the tool from autozone/oreilys/etc and putting them in, then its just a basic camber bolt to adjust so that is the easy. I'm gonna have to read up on adjustment.

edit: looks like adjustment is basically like any eccentric bolt so it is pretty straight forward

Check the install instructions for yourself. It looks pretty straight forward to me, you do have to 'press' the splined bolt into the bushing, but you just use the provided nut and two wrenches.

I feel like I'm defending these, but I'm just trying to offer what info I've found. Which isn't much. I haven't used these and don't know how well they'll work. They just seem like an ideal solution, for the price, to me.
