2 degrees of camber up front?
 
Is it possible to get -2 degrees of camber up front with oem top hats and camber bolts?

With two sets of bolts, yes.

With one set, no.

I was only able to get -1.6 degrees up front, all stock only camber bolts (1 set).

OEM crash bolts? I was only able to get to -1.3 on SPC camber bolts in the lower hole. Lowered on RCE Yellows. Thinking about biting the bullet and getting camber bolts for the upper hole.

I installed front camber bolts on stock suspension upper slots and had the alignment shop max out the negative camber. They got it to -1.5 and -1.8, so you can get close, but not quite to -2.

However, that was enough to drastically improve cornering grip.

take your OEM bottom bolts (which are the OEM crash bolts btw) and throw them in thebupper hole. I maxed at -2.4 on RCE yellows that way

I have the SPC camber bolts installed on the upper hole. Is there a reason you installed them on the lower hole rather than the upper?

Yeah, I'm poooondering. I'll probably do it in the spring.

Poor life choices, I guess.

No biggie. You can always make your changes in the Spring, like you said. :burnrubber:

You can also get to -2* by slightly slotting the upper strut hole.

thats where they are meant to go, though in theory you could have a different size and they go in the upper hole. You could put a smaller eccentric bolt in the upper hole but you run a greater risk of it slipping.

But the SPC bolt sold for our cars is 14mm and goes in the bottom hole. A 16mm bolt is needed for the top

^^ The whiteline instructions definitely say to put the eccentric bolt in the upper hole, and they're the same bolts as SPC.

The SPC instructions that I have are for the lower hole. They do make them in different sizes, you know.
