SPC camber bolt install question.
Ok, so i'm about to drop my car on eibach's after much consideration. I also got a set of front SPC camber bolts. My question is after i drop the car should i go ahead and install the camber bolts before going to get an alignment or do i need to get a baseline alignment then install it?

you should put em on first.

the alignment shop would probably charge you for having them put it on for you.

The tap nipple thing should be facing IN towards your engine & try to level it in the middle. That's what I did to get negative camber which is what the Fit really needs even after lowering it. The Fit's front suspension is like TSX, u don't gain much negative camber at all even after lowering it.

And remember install the bolt the same way how the stock bolt was installed(end of the bolt face to the rear).

LOL u would love it! The rear springs are ridiculously soft & it rubbed like a motherducka when I use my 14x5.5 +35mm steelies with 195/60R14 with passenger at the back.

Might be ok if u use stock rims but I don't like how the rear springs perform at all.

you should install your springs first to let them settle after a few weeks and put the bolts on after.

are far as i know each bolt in the front allows up to 1.5 degrees of camber adjustment. You can use up to to 2. The rear is a whole other story.

yeah they should be good even though i have another brand.

nope, you just need one bolt per side. it replaces the top bolt out of the two on each shock. once installed, go to an alignment shop and they'll align it to factory or to your desired setting.
