so i just received these camber bolts and there doesn't seem to be a big difference between them and the stock ones. it is a slight bit thinner, so if i install all 4 of them, will i be able to adjust the camber to a certain spec?? or will it be fixed?

It will give you 1.5 to 1.7 degrees not that much, but hey it is something.

I had my friend's friend do it. They just take off the wheel bolt this rolling contraption on and use a heat gun to soften up the air and just roll away. Im pretty sure local shops can do it.

Installed SPC Camber bolts on my GE8. We set the front camber @ -1.75 deg. and +.006" toe. Really improved the handling.

So i received my ingalls camber bolts from redshift,
i wanted to ask some questions..
The nut on this does not Rotate freely till the end of the bolt, it just jams after rotating a couple of times with my hand.. is it meant to be like this?
Where should i install these, on lower strut or the upper strut?
Should i get my alignment checked before installing these?
(sorry but i m noob with bolts )

Got mine waiting until I replace the tires figure get them installed and alignment at the same time. Was planning on a -1 and toe at spec. Any thoughts?

-1.5 will net you better cornering grip. honestly i wanted to do -2, but the range is limited if using only one bolt.

Ordered my bolts today finally. I got the Eibach ones which are the same as _____ ones i'm sure, but they were $23 so w/e

Will max them out on install to the best of my ability and run them like that until I get new tires within the next few months and get a legitimate alignment.

SPC says put them in the top hole, but lots of people use them in both, so I don't think it matters all that much. I know mkane actually drives his car hard so he if says using both is safe then I believe him.

I run -1 camber up front which is plenty of clearance with a fender roll for 17x7's.

Just remember guys, the more - camber you run, the less time you'll get to enjoy your tires.
