If I may add my 2 cents, my ride is great on Tanabe's! I do not notice any ride change not a camber issue

The rear camber was just barely within spec, but yes, I still see it. I would still get a camber kit if one became available. I'm kind of **** about having my alignment at nominal settings.

The price to install them was only $200 so I let the shop I bought them from do it. I watched the tech and it did seem pretty easy.

I deal with SPC , and I called him up yesterday after the drop they have the kit for the 2011 and what I am gonna do measure my rear arm and compare it to the 2011 and the guy said, he might send me a kit to try it on and it looks identical to it, so if it works, we got our self a camber rear arms, and I will post it for sure,

The suspension configuration is different between the two model years. I've also been in contact with both SPC and Megan and still waiting for one of them to step up to the plate. Maybe you can be more influential.

That is the exact drop I want on my car when I put my wheels on it. So happy I went with Tanabe!
