Camber Bolt Review?


My car is lowered and Im thinking about buying the camber bolts instead of the plates. $25 sounds alot better than $200.

Anyone using these bolts? Any problems?

how low are you dropped. Because cam bolts will work (I have used them in the field numerous times) but they only do so much.

Camber bolts are good for between 1°~1.5° and will not do the second "C" of which plates will do Caster is the second adjustment and can be a major improvement in cornering, if you're into it. Camber bolts are weaker than OEM bolts and therefore don't recommend them.

Its not lowered all that much. Im not really into the Auto X thing so cornering isnt a big deal. I pretty much baby my car and even if I do get into it, its in a straight line. Im not even worried if the camber is perfect. Just wanna stop my tires from wearing so quickly.

One does not have to AX or race the car to put strain on these bolts They may be fine in your case, but have seen where too many experienced guys have seen them brake. I recommend you spend the extra money and get CC plates to allow better control over the alignment specs.
