I spent more time than I should have trying to get the SPC 81260 camber adjustment kit to fit. Cam lobe at peak is about 14.9. The OE strut bolts are at the least 12.55mm and at most 13.5mm. I've spent hours looking for other kits and they've all have the same dimensions and been just as universal as the previous one.

My GD3 was made in July of '06. Did they change the ID of the knuckle and struts to 14mm or is my car the only one with 12-13mm bolts? I just need to bring the camber in on the dr. side. It's at 1.0- which is exactly within range of most of these kits. They're not worth boring my struts and knuckle out for, so I'm wondering if anyone has tried anything else. I know there are strut tower camber plates, but the only listing I'm finding is for 350$ and only works with a certain Bilstein strut (B14's)-

I just want my alignment to be okay-ish. I'm not spending 800$+ on front suspension for a daily that's at 300k. I'm a body guy. Every bit of this is out of my wheelhouse.

TL;DR SPC bolts won't fit. I need different front camber bolts with a 12-13mm lobe instead of a 14mm- basically what they're all selling. The struts don't look like they've been changed, but the shocks sure have.

 

gd3 comes with very little front neg camber from factory. you are trying to add more neg camber? i dont really understand your objective. you dont want to spend money and driving with a blown shocks that are 18 years old and you care about adding camber?

I don't have the money currently. A set of camber bolts is a cheaper upfront cost with my current situation. Helping my mom pay the bills so I'm not left with much at the end of the week. This is just to hold me over until I can save up enough to overhaul the suspension. Sorry if I came off odd in the original post. I'm just stressed out about this. I keep thinking the car's in a good spot and as soon as I stop watching the pot, it boils over. -w-;;

Shocks all around aren't blown or leaking. They dampen like they've only got 70k on them. Only issue is the strut bushings creaking, but the car otherwise rides fine.

I'll upload my alignment sheet RQ.



It's a lot better than it was, but my OCD/tism won't let me be content with where it's at. I'm gonna have to shim the LR by the looks of it. But that's not my concern for now. The rear tires wear pretty evenly IMO.


I'm not looking for judgment over my reasoning. I just need part numbers or general advice. I'm figuring this out all on my own here so sometimes I need a hand. I know my car well enough, but there is a lot I haven't disassembled.

 

oh nice. i do like they cleaned up total front toe. our new alignment spec looks cool, i say just leave it be. i can see you have abit more neg front camber then stock gd3 but its not alot. alignment looks good.

 

Now it's just the fact of why I have 12.55mm bolts in place of the 14mm bolts. The holes on both the knuckle and strut seem to be 12. Unless the struts are aftermarket and *aren't* the correct size for some reason. I think I'd have to get it undone to actually see. At least move the knuckle out of the way. Honda is only showing a 14x53mm bolt for the struts, and I have a 12x72mm. Losing my mind.
