How to increase negative camber Fortune 500 coilovers
 
I got a set of Fortune 500s. I'm veto happy with them except I can only get about -2.5 camber on them. I'd like -3 to -3.5. How can I go about getting more camber without modifying the coils(voids warranty)?

Top hat is maxed out. I don't have camber bolts(yet), can someone verify fitment? Fortune said I could make the top hole in the bracket longer away from the shock(voids warranty) but when I visualize this it decreases(+) camber. Any ideas guys?

Camber bolts would be my immediate suggestion. Or camber bolt in the bottom hole and crash bolt in the top hole. Or two camber bolts. You could slot the top hole of the strut, but like you said, that voids the warranty.

I know one hole already is slotted. I think the top one but it's obviously not enough. How are crash bolts different from normal/camber bolts?

The OEM bolts are 16mm top, 14mm bottom. The crash bolt is also 14mm (same part as the OEM lower bolt). It's just a thinner bolt than the top bolt, whereas a camber bolt has an eccentric lobe on it. People will pick up another 14mm bolt and put it in the top hole, to get a little camber. Or they'll take the OEM bottom bolt, put it in the top hole, and put a camber bolt in the bottom hole, to get some more camber. Or two sets of camber bolts, one in each hole. This will give you the most.

Isn't the stock top bolt supposed to be a camber bolt?

It's just a plain old round bolt. Or at least, mine was. It's just bigger than the bottom bolt, so when you put another bottom bolt in the top hole, you get a little bit of play.

Camber bolts ordered, hope they fit

Definitely camber bolts. That's realistically your only option without going custom top hats.
