Default Camber bolt question please help

Just purchased tanabe df210 springs and was wondering if I had to get front camber bolts to get my car aligned. I will be running 15x8 wheels if that will d a factor.

Those springs drop it only 2 inches you would not need camber unless your wheel offset is way low and you needed to tuck it in a little to keep from rubbing. Wait 2-3 weeks after installing them so they can settle before having alignment checked.

Default ...CAMBER BOLTS....

I'm guessing that you mean the adjustable front camber bolts on e-bay for about $15.
I bought a set and will install them before my next alignment.

Even without adding springs, your alignment could be more accurate, allowing an adjustment that is not possible with the OEM bolt.

I have H-TECH's and want as accurate an alignment as possible.

I would say YES, get the camber bolts.

Are they difficult to install?
Could I give the stealership the new camber bolts when they do my alignment soon anyway?

I know they do.
It's hard to find local shops willing to work on "Japcrap," period.
Most people have trucks over here.

I could do some searching to see if I can DIY-it.

Hmm. Well in this part of WV, its going to be the biggest population center in the state soon, its near northern VA but I have only seem a couple other xB's with anything done to them at all.

I'm glad most people hate my car, haha, but it sucks when local shop guys specialize in Fords and Chevys.
