Slotting Struts
I have not seen a dedicated thread on slotting struts so I thought I would bring it up because I am thinking about doing this to the rear struts. NAOSIC says 1mm = -.8 degree of camber, and slotting the upper hole is ideal. I know you have to be careful about weakening the tower, and also the bolt slipping. Thoughts?

The rear of the car does not have struts. There is no upper hole to slot.

I have camber bolts in the front. I assumed since there are camber bolts for the rear that work the same way as the front that slotting would work the same in the rear as well.

Yup. There's also a whiteline camber adjustment bushing for the upper arm that works well (and replaces a soft bushing with poly which is nice). The install is a pain though.

Not saying it works well or doesn't, just something I saw mentioned recently so that might be what you heard of.
