I read so many horror stories that I broke and had Honda do mine. Of course, I negotiated with them for a great price, but it was still $125. I think the bulk of the price is the alignment that they have to do afterwards, which you're going to have to pay for anyway, so since I knew that, I made a deal with them. There are several threads on this very thing I think, just do some google searches with acurazine /camber kit and you'll find them quicker.

What did you have and what are you switching them out with?

You are better off doing it at a shop because an alignment is required. This is a rough job to do during the winter in unheated garage.

If you are changing out the lower rear arm, you most likely need a new eccentric bolt that goes on the chassis side. If you are in Cali then you might get lucky and get that bolt off. That bolt is often seized in there and turns with the metal bushing side the rubber bushing.

You must be confused. In OEM speaking, the "toe" arm is the lower rear one. The camber arm is the upper one. Ingalls utilize the 2 lower arms to adjust both the toe and the camber. The SPC one utilizes the upper arm to adjust only the camber, although the toe does move a little bit. That's when you use the OEM eccentric bolt on the inside for the lower rear arm to adjust the toe. The upper arm does not largely govern the toe spec. So which one are you swapping out? Are you positive you understand what's what and what's wearing the tires? Please be a little more clear.

Pretty sure that Eibach & SPC are the same. Comptech is as well.

From what I've read......
