Thanks, Skimmer, that's good to know - not just that I was in the ballpark result-wise, but also that you need TWO SETS of the crash bolts to max out the -camber. It begs the question(s): what are the PN's of the OEM crash bolts and what do they cost, individually or as a set of 4. Not sure why anyone would bother with only two...

Makes me think that it's probably less trouble to get the Ingalls 0-2* bolt set, set them to about -0.8*, and worry about swapping them out with the OEM bolts when it looks like I'll be chasing a trophy in Topeka...

Hehe. Luckily I anticipated your question and made a note of the crash bolt part number: 90188-SCC-A00.

But I'm not sure if that's for one bolt or a pair.

Nice! That jives with what I just found in this stickied thread in the suspension and brakes section. Not quite done reading through all 11 pages yet...

Here's what I found there:
p/n 90188-SCC-A00
BOLT, FLANGE (14X57.3) (SERVICE) NO COLOR 3.57 2.68
I'm GUESSING that the last two numbers are MSRP and dealer cost for one bolt, so you'd need a total of 4 to max out. That comes in cheaper than the Ingalls parts, but doubles the effort to install.

is it just me or does the Fit loose alignment settings pretty easily from
hitting bumps and pot holes? i hit a fairly big but not damaging pot hole
the other day and i think my front toe setting is already off a little bit.

my other cars would've been fine with that level of hit.
