Likely a dumb question, but can these crash bolts still be used once coilovers are fitted? I’m looking to fit ST coils (no camber adjustment), bit want to adjust the front camber slightly.

JeffZZZ: that friction of torqued down bolt is strong enough. Just like wheels, they are not held in place much by resting on hub axle in center, even hubcentric ones, they are kept in place by friction of properly torqued lugnuts, which is enough to keep in place even with hits that can damage wheel itself.
Most using crashbolts (normal bolts, but simply smaller then hole) adjust them by simply setting them at maxed out position, eased if car weight rests on wheel, then just torque it. Fine adjustment usually is done by other means, as imho it's rather PITA to undo bolt, skew wheel somewhat, torque back again, measure, then redo .. lobed camberbolts that change camber gradually by turning, or camberplates, imho are easier for fine adjustment. |

Imho biggest drawback of camber plates is not price, but NVH. 2nd drawback slight inconvenience when you adjust together with toe from below of car on car lifted on alingment rig. Probably PITA if camberplates are only camber adjustment way and one needs several times crawl up and down during alingment. Price is high too, but it's one time investment, not deal killer in my eyes.
Then again, adjustment range offered by camberplates usually is higher then offered by other means, some coilovers include own camberplates in set, and it seems easier for quick on-site DIY camber adjustments when at track. |
