    There are a couple different kinds of camber bolts. I used SPC in the rear and Ingalls up front. Both will work anywhere. I know GTScoob had a few pairs of Ingalls still left for like $20 or something. Thats a pretty good deal, since you would normally pay over $30 for new ones. You can't use the OE front camber bolts in the rear though, so don't try. The front bolts are too large of a diameter to fit in the rear strut.

    Once you get them in, you take your car to get aligned and then you don't move them at all. They are really easy to get in. You need to remove your wheel and then remove the top strut to brake knuckle bolt with a 19mm socket. It's going to be on there tight since the torque specs for that bolt are 130 ft./lbs. Don't loosen the lower bolt, because this will hold your alignment in place until you get to a shop to have your alignment done. I would rotate the bolt until you can feel it touch the metal and it stops spinning. Throw the nut on and tighten it down with a good amount of force.

    If you are racing, I would suggest alignment specs of -.7 to -1.0 if not, than -1.0 to -1.3 (OE) and toe should be 0 on both sides. Once its aligned don't adjust it at all, because adjusting camber will change your toe which could drastically wear you tires.

    I've still got 2 sets of the Ingalls bolts FS, $15 if you want a pair.
