Ok guys so help me out here. I was trying to follow but got a little lost. Early on dsc pat mentioned swapping the lower crash bolt and the upper larger collared bolt. Is that correct, or does the lower smaller oe "crash bolt" stay in the lower hole and another set of crash bolts needs to be ordered to go in the top hole?
Also afterward I just need to force the hub at the top as far as I can before touqueing it down correct?? Will I need an alignment after, since no other changes are being made? Last edited by Scoobtothenoog; 12-16-2021 at 08:34 PM. Reason: Spelling |

You can put another set of the smaller bolts in the upper hole, or you can put the lower bolts in the upper hole and camber bolts in the lower hole.
In reality, I think there are 6 options. Upper camber bolt. Lower camber bolt. Crash bolts in upper. Crash bolts in upper, camber bolts lower. Upper camber bolts, lower camber bolts. Stock. |

Upper camber bolt, lower camber bolt > crash bolt in upper, camber bolt in lower > lower camber bolt > upper camber bolt > crash bolt in upper in terms of how much negative camber can one get from the config? Also dual camber bolt isn't the safest? |

You can also pair the 81305 lower bolt with 81280 upper lobbed bolt. Some say this is less safe. Opinions vary. Adding 1° camber you can either: - Change lower bolt with SPC 81305 - Change upper bolt with OEM crash bolt (from dealer) - Change upper bolt with SPC 81280 Alignment is a good idea. Verify camber settings and check/make adjustments to toe. If you have aftermarket wheels make sure to check clearance from the top of the wheel to lower spring perch. Adding camber this way shift the wheel closer to the strut. |

I actually recently took mine off the car because they aren’t legal in SCCA solo spec coupe class. They are currently mounted to a set of TS springs/dampers. Not sure if I’m gonna sell them or keep them at this point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Adding camber in the front will cause toe in — you're basically turning the knuckle relative to the diagonal axis going through the LCA joint and the tie rod joint when you change camber. If the camber change is significant, it is useful to check the toe. Also, some alignment shops might be able to squeeze out a few more tenths of a degree of camber for you.

I installed the OEM crash bolts. I got around -1.3 degrees of camber on both sides with my camber gauge. Toe was nearly unchanged, as it was on the first gen.
