Camber Bolts in Rear
 
I've seen one member make mention of having these bolts in the rear, that they acquired from Perrin. I am interested in this as I don't feel I need the extra hundred dollar Whiteline camber bushings.

Any suspension experts have opinions on using this in the rear? I don't see why it would be any riskier or not useful than using them on the fronts.

The risk is that they were designed to be used up front and have to be ground down slightly to work in the rear. From what I've seen there's no real risk, but the manufacturers won't support it if you've modified the bolt at all.

I've seen a few people running these in the rear:

H&R Camber Bolts

I'm hoping others can chime in, because I'm looking to do it myself. For $50, I wouldn't mind getting a little more camber in the rear.

I did read he had to remove a few threads to make them fit, which doesn't worry me. I've looked around and notice bolt kits for several other models (WRX, 350/370z) that would incline me to think the manufacturers are just behind on getting bolts out for the twins...

From the tech at Perrin, the H&R TC112 bolts are the ones you need (but do need modification). I'd imagine the 12mm SPC bolts could work too.

So were do these install in the rear? Lca I assume

They can be used once ground down. From my personal preference, I know I will probably make additional suspension changes in the future, and it makes more sense to spend a few extra dollars to have the extra adjustability.

Just like a camber bolt would be utilized in the front, in the upper of the two bolts that secure the bottom of the strut/shock.

i'm interested in this as well, except to remove rear camber.

That's what I'll be using it for as well. I figured this was an easier, more cost efficient option for me, as opposed to the Whiteline kit. I am not building a track car, but would like to be able to dial in my suspension properly with coilovers.

If you're so inclined you should do a DIY guide, there's so much misinformation about this that a proper guide would clear up.

A DIY is something I would strongly avoid for this, just for the simple fact that a very important part has to be modified correctly. I would not want anyone to get hurt for modifying an aftermarket part to make it "fit"

No, the rear suspension is not a MacPherson strut, we are using the bolt on the lower control arm instead. I just ordered a pair of TC112's - I'll post the install when it comes in if no one beats me to it.

this is what needs to be done to the bolts.
It installs on the inner most hole of the control arm.
Not sure how much adjustment this allows but I was able to correct .5- .6 or negative camber which was all I needed.
