Im in the same boat...I have camber bolts on my Bc extreme lows and they dont offer much more camber than what the plates give. Its the struts design. I believe we are gonna have to notch the holes in order to give the camber bolts more play? Any insight would be great aswell

When I worked in a machine shop I helped several friends by setting up their camber plates in my mill and slotted the holes further. Many of these cars were raced often and/or driven on the street with no failures. Unfortunately this was years ago and I no longer have access to the same equipment but a competent local machine shop should be able to slot the holes further without costing an arm and a leg or sacrificing the strength of the plates.

I would avoid slotting the towers at all costs.

I have also seen people slot the upper hole on the lower strut bracket to allow camber gain between the front knuckle and the strut. GTO's actually come this way from the factory. The only thing you'll have to worry about with this is contact between the coilover and wheel.

Thats what I was refering to..slotting the upper hole on the lower strut bracket...I wouldnt even attempt to mess with the plates. Ive never done this before and im actually getting more camber on one side and everything is equal on both sides at the camber plates/bolts..Im at a loss

That sucks man PadiG is selling his ark for a prett good price. But he's trying to keep it local. Hit him up for the right price and I'm pretty sure he will ship.

with BC's camber plates and upper camber bolts, I got to about -5 degrees.. with lower camber bolts, I was able to get to -6 degrees..

When I maxed out my front coils (ARK) I couldn't turn my wheel cause my car just sat on the tire lol. I was running 18x9.5 with a 225/40.

So I didn't even max my coils when I has them cause I couldn't turn my wheel when I did

BC Extreme Low's paired with PBM/Stance LCA's is the recipe for success if you wanna be slammed. I wanna say I'm one of the lowest static cars, probably pretty even with nab...

@nab335 told me to put my lip on to see how low it hangs, so I just kinda set it there and held it up with wrenches..
