1st pic: cant go wrong with a little loctite
2nd: used a flat head help get the arm in there.
3rd & 4th: Depending on your suspension set up the control arm bolt might be a little tough to get in the holes. Mine's when in with just a little wiggle.
5th: how it looks with the arm installed.

1st pic: Caster adjustment; I left this at zero, need the shop to help with this..
2nd: How it looks when caster adjustment plate is moved to a different position.
3rd & 4th: Camber adjustment; nut has been removed for clarity, bolt slides back and fourth for camber adjustment.

hope this helps.

sorry about the pics, forgot to rotate em..

if you decide to install these don't forget to pre-load the whole thing before tightening the arm bolts..

Good luck, any questions, just ask.

So u don't need to remove the coilover then correct? Looking for something to correct camber.. i need two new front tires.. Tires have very low miles but the inner tread is completely worn on drivers side but not as bad on passenger side..

did your shop adjust these?

No I didn't have to remove my coilover's. IDK if it will be the same for you but just to let you know I have TEIN CSv.2.
Yes I've been having the same issue with tire wear hopefully after I get these adjusted along with an alignment it will illiminate my tire issues.
Haven't gotten them adjusted yet, got some other issues I have to fix before I can drive again.

Just did this a couple of weeks ago. I actually had to remove the shock because the spring was in the way of the two bolts. I'm on stock shocks with Tanabe DF210 springs. The difference is incredible, the highway vibration is almost completely gone.

i installed stock UCA's a few weeks ago also and trust me those bolts were a pain in ***... I didn't remove my coils but i bet iwould have made things a lot easier..

Don't know if this has been posted but here's a video.

It looks like SPC came out with a new design. My SPC's looks slightly different. I had to remove my shocks because when I was taking out the bolt the air bag was in the way

Even with the bag deflated not enough room? I can confirm taking them out with stock spring/shock, and a few different coilover types. I'm the only idiot around with Nagisa arms which use a threaded rod end adjustment so they come out quite a bit. Air soon so hopefully I can work around it.

Edit- Those of you on beefier springs might try getting away with unbolting the shock top hats to let the suspension sag a bit. That way you can pull the bolt through the coil.
