Never heard or thought of that as a factor since I'll be driving mine alone 90% of the time. Makes alot of sense though!!!

arent the OEM camber bolts just made skinnier in diameter so theres more play in the strut so you can move it around til you get the camber just right?

They are exactly the same size as the stock one on the car. Usually a camber bolt will have a small hump right above the threads so when you rotate the bolt it will move the hub for +/- camber.

I'd like to know as well... but seeing as how i just got an alignment, i dont see any point in dumping another 20-30 bucks into bolts then another 50 on the alignment for another -.5 - -1 degree more camber

I'm sure if you could find someone to sorce the JDM front strut mount bolts & nuts ...since they are smaller in DIA. vice the USDM ones you could use them for setting more camber in the front...??? give me a day or two and I'll see if I can post the part # for you guys

Below is straight out of Honda's Interactive Network, the part# is probably correct but wrong part in the wrong package, happens all the time. I will check my service manual tomorrow and see what it says. If those bolts are not on your car, I would return them and just tell the parts deparment what happened, I'm positive they can verify that Honda made a mistake.

Some are just skinnier which would allow you to more the strut in/out to get more camber adj.

Some are "eccentrics" which would have the small-hump; so when you rotate it, it'll change cam/caster...

Which one do you need?
