^Are you using those with slotted upper holes? Because I also got -1.2 camber when I used OEM camber bolts on my stock struts. But the same set of camber bolts on my new slotted hole coilovers yield 0 camber (the same 14mm bolts x 4 all around).

I've heard that somewhere as well. But IIRC, that's after a certain point of lowering, closer to when the car is slammed. The wheel fitment sticky thread shows negative camber results when lowering the car 1". I'm between 1" to 1.25" lower than stock and two guys are running the same coilovers as mine (ST) with the same out-of-the-box height settings but stock 16mm bolts instead of camber bolts. They get close to -2 camber in front. (TeamZleep and Shutter in this thread:

And this guy in another thread posted this regarding coilovers with a slotted top hole without explaining why:

16mm camber bolt is needed for the top slot.
