After I installed the OEM Crash bolts the max camber before alignment was:
FRONT RIGHT: -1.2
FRONT LEFT: -0.7
Since I did not do this alignment myself, the final numbers were actually:
FRONT RIGHT: -0.5
FRONT LEFT: -0.5
There are a few reasons why and please remember this actually may differ from car to car due to manufacturing differences.
- The crash bolts are harder to align because when you loosen them up on the alignment rack camber you are actually pulling on the wheel hub to move the entire assembly in and out. This makes it very difficult to be accurate.
- It takes more time to do the alignment this way.
- The tech doing the alignment may have not wanted to spend the time to get more camber. Once he got both sides even he probably just called it quits.
As you can see the Whiteline/SPC bolts did actually get more negative camber, and were much easier to use to align the car. You can expect a max of -0.9 to -1.4 of camber. And it took about 20 minutes to adjust on the rack. For $55 through ft86speedfactory just use those and be done with it.
Unless you plan on doing autox in a stock class.
