Camber Bolts Question
So at just over 55K on the car I just used up a third set of tires.
I have noticed that the Camber Bolts come in many different levels of adjustability.
For those that have used the bolts what "size" (+/- 1, +/- 1 1/4, +/- 1 3/4) did you end up getting?
Also did you get bolts for the Front and the Rear?

Not sure which ones you need, but 3 sets of tires is a lot for that many miles.
I am on original RSA's at 43,000+ miles, (and they still have about half tread left on them). I did put in a set of camber bolts (on the rear only) the week after I bought the car and followed it up with an alignment, though.

Thanks for the info guys, I am going with the ones GXP25 suggested so I can get the most adjustability.
The streets around here are a nightmare, they are either slanted to the right or have serious grooves. That plus the BFGoodrich KDWs and the non-adjustable camber equals a hard life for the tires.
I plan on getting Conti DWS tires once I get the camber in the rear fixed, so hopefully the next set will last 2-3 years.

Yup, I got to thinking about how many miles I got out of this last set of tires and realized I have only driven the poor girl 5600 miles since December.
I got a set of GP torque stars that I am going to use this winter with some snow tires.
EDIT: For now I just got the Camber Bolts for the rear. Under $30 bucks for the pair on rock auto if anyone is looking for them.

Getting ready to put the Snow Tires on the car and have the camber bolts installed.
After the install while re-alining the car what should the F/R Camber be set to?
As close to Zero as possible?

i used 1+3/4 when i lowered my car and still didnt have a desirable alignment. i was in the "green" but was super close to going out of the good zone. i need to add 4 more all around to the upper bolts next time i get the car in the shop.
