Default FRONT CAMBER BOLTS!!!

Ok, so i wanted to shell out some money for the F&F II coils, but i have to take a trip to taiwan to see family which cost me a coilover set....sooo

i was searching on camber bolts..didnt really answer anything...

I really want to get rid of my front rubbage... im thinking a camber of 1.75 to 2 should be good..

now i also have tokico shocks...anyone have probs installing onto them?? I know CSOCO had probs with the ingalls bolts...how about the Eibachs or other brands??

Let me know! -Howard

heeeeeey.. yeah i had problems with the ingalls camber kit. they didnt fit. I have Tokicos also.

that two pins which goes inside hole wast close enough so i couldnt make the square washer lean flat to the wall of the shocks...

to bend the pins dont use plyer!!!!!!!!! you will brake one of the pins off!

use this:



and do it carefully!

btw how to u call that tool in english?

this came up for vice grip:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg

so i don think they call it like that.


yes and no... u dont have to modify the bolt... you have to modify that square washer which has two pins...

u put the washer to the hole and that to pins reaches inside the hole but they might not fit right.


But its a cheap thing... 30 dollars for the set of camber bolt?

get them.. take it to a shop if u dont have that tool.. let them try to install it then do the alignment and PLEASE!!! if they dont fit call ingalls and let them know

vice grip tend to refer to the pliers that lock. a vise , or table vise would be more accurate.

i installed the progress (spc) front camber bolts. the only thing that seemed weird was the bolt was significantly longer than the stock one so it looks weird when installed, otherwise it fits just fine.

I have the Progress camber bolts and Tokicos. Will be installing them in the spring (they've been on my desk since last fall). Not anticipating any issues, but if I run into something, will probably just switch to another brand.
