THOSE CAMBER KITS ARE MADE BY SPECIALTY PRODUCTS...I HAVE THE SAME ONES ON MY "TOASTER"..THERE EASY TO INSTALL ...THE GO ON THE TOP STRUT HOLES...JUST INSTALL THEM THE SAME WAY U TOOK THE OLD STOCK BOLTS OUT .JUST MAKE SURE THAT WHEN U DO PUT THEM IN THAT U GET THE CAR ALIGNED RIGHT AWAY CAUSE THE CAMBER IS GOINGTO BE WAY OFF..GOOD LUCK..

if you look at the lobes on the bolts, you can see that there are really 2 positions.. the head of the bolt should have some mark on it to denote +camber, like a tick mark, if not, get some chalk or white out, and make a mark on the head that corresponds to the +camber side of the lobe. now, when installing them into the top strut bolt hole, you can either install with the mark facing the strut, or away, depending on your camber needs. adjustments are made by turning the bolt 180 degrees, using the lobe position to set the camber + or -.
