Im running a qa1 k member with stock a arms clearanced to fit. When my CC plates are as far as they will physically go im at about 2 degrees negative camber still.. in order to get another degree or so i was considering camber bolts... Anyone using them?

Also does anyone run fox arms instead because they are 1'' shorter??? Id assume id need a new sway bar from a fox as well.. im assuming by doing this id loose lock to lock clearance on my inner fenders. :confused:

What would be the better way to go???

imo the best way to go would be to get tubular a arms and just run a coil over setup.

The camber bolts can get you up to 1.7*, ive succesfully used them myself.

Old kenny browns.

I will not run coil overs and tube arms on a street car. There are very few companies that make arms with spring perches and there expensive

Usually they are a tad noisy... Roads are bad in my area and i just dont enjoy the ride of a car with coil overs... also i did alot of work in the engine bay and i would like to reduce the amount of weight and force being put on the shaved towers and panels.

I just figured given those two reasons id rather nut push my luck

i agree a lot of them are noisy. i have been lucky and mine are quiet.

i think aje might make a set with perches on them or paracing... i'd have to check

PA racing does. but ive heard problem with lock to lock with them and needing rack limiters... and they are quite pricey $300+ and there is no guarantee they will fix my issue unless i get fox length and a new sway bar. Im considering just getting camber bolts to fix my issues. if i could get down to 1 degree negative ill be happy... i just dont want to eat tires.

I have the same setup as you and my alignment guy had to slot the top spindle holes in my struts to get them straight. I then welded a washer on the strut to make sure the spindle never walks in the slot.

I've used slotted camber bolts before on my old car... they will definitely give you some extra room...

i bought mine from eBay for a really good price, and the quality was great as well.

Goes without saying, but lots of people have told me to tighten them extra hard so they don't "walk."
