SPC camber bolt / shim help !!
hi guys, looking to do some camber again !!
for the front, IF my coilovers are slotted for camber already, and at max camber i only get 1.8".......if i add the SPC camber bolts (1.75") does it mean at MAX i can get 3.55" degrees ? OR ARE the SPC bolts are ONLY for "NON SLOTTED shocks ???

as for the shim, since it is a full circle, which means it will push the wheel out at the same time giving camber, how thick is the shim ? and can i double them up ?
using 2 and get 3 degrees of camber ?

i belive you can do that on the front i havent tryed it yet but as for the shims they are soft plastic and theyre usally used for toe i dont know if you can use them for camber but you may be able to use them though also be careful on the shims the can mess up the abs since you have a sport it will mess with it

Does anyone have a solution for the rear camber besides these plastic shims?

I've done 1-1/2 shim sets...but you need longer bolts. Take a look at my profile, I have pictures posted there. I've split one set in half and put 3/4 degrees on the top on both sides. Then I followed their instructions. Each shim is about 1-mm thick, so I've added about 3-mm to each side on my car...that is why you need longer bolts.

It's max'd out on the SPC bolts so it would most likely be -1.7?

You're f&#$%ing nuts! Why would you want to ruin such a great little car?

And besides, it will look like it’s been squashed.
