Front Camber Bolts

[lilredrocket]

Hi, I was wonder what degree of adjustment everyone was getting out of there camber bolts. I got -2.8 with mine and talked to another local member and he only got -1.4 with his. I got mine through work (goodyear ordered through a warehouse) and he got his through garm. I got to do my own alignment the other member had to pay extra because he asked for a (custom) alignment. Any thoughts?

i've seen -2 from a set of bolts. are you on 14mm or 15mm camber bolts?

"how" you do your alignment affects how much you can get out of a set of bolts. most techs simply turn the bolt in place. if you rest the weight of the car ON the front wheels, remove the locking pins on the bearing plates on the rack and allow the front to "sag" you'll get a LOT more than simply turning the bolt head.

we have a local autocrosser who actually straps the top of his tires and pulls them inward to get as much camber as possible wiht stock bolts (he was in a stock class). there really is a lot of play in most stock bushings.
