Running a narrower tire won't change the need for more camber... dropping to a 225 will still be chewing up the outer edge.

The set I bought had the old black coating that is more prone to rusting) Also, depending on the offset of the wheels you are using, you may need wheel spacers to clear the spring perch.

A friend of mine slotted his in an hour and has -3.3 on one side, -3.1 on the other (he needs to slot that one a little more). He's using a whiteline camber bolt as well. I took it out for one run and beat all my own times (in a borrowed FR-S lol) and all of his in one try. The camber WORKS and if you're looking for more camber it's basically free. Do it!
Edit: FWIW The bolt switching trick works well too, but won't get you as much. It might be good to try that first though: you might max out your tire clearance without even slotting the struts...

@s0sl0w I'm afraid not, and he's in the process of moving multiple states so I don't think he'll have the opportunity to snap photos anytime really soon. I'll shoot him a text though.

How much - camber gained from slotting by its self? I know that you can only go so far with the slot before the knuckle starts to make contact and bottom out on the main strut body/tube. Its probably a good idea to leave at least a 1~1.5mm gap between the knuckle and the body.
