SPC Camber bolt question? What's the maximum negative camber you achieve?
LIke title says. I am dropped on Swift Springs with SPC camber bolt kit I believe #81260. I had the car aligned at FIrestone and was able to achieve -1 camber up front. I know the kit says the range is +/- 1.75 but it is a generic kit that fits multiple vehicles. I have a lifetime alignment with them and came back six months later and asked to have at least -1.5 negative camber...they said no problem but was only able to achieve -1 on one side and =1.25 on the other. The reason I want negative camber is cuz I am rubbing in the front when hitting minor dips at >30mph. I am rolling on WORK 17 x 7 +42 with 205/40-17 tires.
What's the most negative camber that you guys achieve? How was tire wear? I know "toe" kills tires relatively faster than camber but am just curious.
In addition...just doing research as I am wanting to buy Enkei RPF1 in 15x7 with +41 and trying to mitigate rubbing in the front.

We have the SPC Camber bolts installed on a stock fit. Done at home so I couldn't tell you what we achieved, but want more.. Measurements are made with a framing square placed up against the bottom of the wheel and a measurement is made to the top edge of the rim.
How about installing camber bolts in the bottom location? Is there to much leverage for this location and the adjustment will slip?

Macpherson struts like the Fit has do not gain much, if any camber due to lowering. It doesn't work the same as wishbone suspensions like we're used to seeing. That's why sometimes even mild drops need camber bolts. No natural camber like EF, EG, EK, Integras, ETC

Thanks guys for your response....also from what I understand...to adjust camber in the rear, we would have to use some sort of spacer/ring behind our drum hubs? Just wondering if they are welded? If so are they tack welded? Anybody try using the setup?

Quick question about camber bolts.
Does it keep up with adjusted spec? I mean, you'd have to wrench the sucker to adjust camber when aligning; doesn't that mean it could go out of spec anytime it wants to?
Never had camber bolts on previous cars, so I'm lost.

Take it to a reputable alignment place that will align to your desired specs and enjoy!

I have camber bolts in the top and bottom position on my GD to achieve -3 degrees. I AutoX the car monthly. I had the alignment checked at the end of the season and it didn't shift at all.

Only using 1 set of bolts will give you a very limited range of adjustment. I believe with only one bolt the max listed range of adjustment is something like 1.25. I know some people have gotten around 1.4-5. You may be able to extend that with one set by putting it in the lower hole as opposed to the upper, but I cannot confirm.
On my GD, with two bolts, 3.0 is what I requested specifically. I can go A LOT further if I decide I want to LOL but for me, camber is a functional adjustment, not one for form.
