I'm considering purchasing actual camber adjustment bolts to get a bit more camber. Some questions:
Do they actually provide a reasonable amount of camber? For example, the Whiteline kit is only advertised at 1.75*. Is there a particular kit that you guys prefer, or recommend? What is the max camber I should shoot for on a car that is still driven on the street? |

The RSR coil overs are good (I have some) but if you're going to be doing lots and lots of HPDEs I'd recommend putting the money into brakes and tires first, then going for something beefier and more adjustable in the coil over department such as RCE Tarmac 2s or similar. Again, that's if you're going to be doing lots and lots of HPDEs.

I'm trying to find out what kind of camber I can get out of the bolts. for example, if I can get 2-2.5....ill do it. if they'll give me only close to what I have now, theres no point. What kind of camber can I get with just camber bolts and which kit is recommended? |

Crash bolts only in the upper hole will get you about -1.5* max. To get more with only bolts you need:
- to slot the upper holes. - use eccentric bolts in the bottom holes as well as crash bolts in the upper hole. |

So, use the actual camber bolts in the bottom and keep the crash bolts in the top? Not sure I want to go that route. In that case ill probably just get what I can out of the crash bolts and leave the camber alone until I get actual camber plates. |

Use it anyways in the meantime; it'll reduce outer shoulder wear. |

Still wondering what camber I'll get with actual camber bolts vs crash bolts. Looking for a direct response on this so I can decide if its worth it to even get them over the crash bolts I already installed. I don't want to mix camber and crash bolts. Camber bolts: What is the camber range they provide when used in the top hole? |
