BRZ front camber adjustment confirmed - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

sparks - good to see the Subaru procedure finally - any idea when this will go public at http://techinfo.subaru.com/index.html ?

Interesting to see that even though the Toyota/Scion part numbers are different than typical Toyota numbers, they are also completely different than the Subaru number.

Also, is it really +/- 4.5' recommended for Subaru? For scion, it is +/- 45' 'Standard Dimension' and then another +/- 45' adjustment from the replacement bolt.

What's the stock camber before putting this bolt in?

Installed Subaru camber bolts and had the car aligned the following day. The max negative camber we could get was 1.0 degree.

Front camber -1.0
caster 5.6
toe 0.0

Rear camber -1.0
toe .14

Still...this is an improvement over stock (front) camber of 0 degrees for $10- in parts

my BC coilovers come "slotted" for camber adjustment and are maxed out as of right now. the knuckle is hitting the coilover "lower mount" on top, so a camber bolt in the top hole will not give me anymore negative camber, will i be able to install the bolt in the lower hole? id like to get more negative camber up front for clearance reasons with wide wheels. On my old STi it was specific which bolts can be replaced and which would need to stay with stock bolts otherwise its likely to slip.

Lower bolt hole can be used, it's advertised as "for race use only" by the bolt manufacturer. Which means it will probably slip eventually,

I wonder what the max we could get with these + Eibach style bolts is. I could easily get 3* on my old Impreza. And if you install them correctly slipping isn't really an issue.
