Setup used:

Pedders top mounts
SPC lower camber bolt
Crash bolt up top (using the OEM lower bolt swapped to the upper position)

Something that helped me a lot during the installation was the following approach:

With all the new components in place but still loose, lower the car slightly onto a piece of wood positioned offset toward the outside of the wheel. This helps to push the suspension outward and maximize negative camber.

Once the car is resting in that position, tighten all the bolts with the piece of wood still in place. Then lift the car back up, remove the wheel, and torque everything to spec.

If you’re lucky, both sides will come out with very similar camber. In my case, I ended up with -3.2° and -3.1° using this setup.

Afterward, it’s best to visit an alignment shop to confirm the camber and let them finish the toe adjustment.

PS: The same process works without Pedders top mounts; you should still get around -2° of negative camber.
