I have them on right now. I had to get them because my drop is 2 1/4 drop. You need them to get aligned. The back don't have any but the back doesn't camber. good luck

Yup. With the height I ride on air suspension camber bolt changes were needed to get a proper alignment. They work fine. Afterall they are just thinner bolts (or should be) to allow some adjustment at the struts, how can they not work?

I've got them, but mine had like a half moon shape, so it pushed the strut one way or another. They seemed to have helped a little

I am running the same ones that skoobus is. I can honestly say I can't tell a dirrerence between stock and using the bolts. I would like to run the cusco camber plates.

well, you cant "tell" the difference, unless you watch the
degree change as you move them, on an alignment rack..
the ones I have would just barley bring thye camber to
within factory specs after the drop. Howver, they gave me a
huge range of negative camber. Make sure they are torqed
correctly and they are very useful.

i'm using OBX, and performed my own alignment at the
shop... hunter alignment machine

camber bolts will not offer you an visible difference in front camber. The bolts are used to correct negative/postive camber. The VIP negative camber look will take a lot more negative camber adjustment. As said before, camber plates offer quite a bit of adjustment.

Also, I you want to go with the VIP style up front, I hope you are prepared to be buying tires more often. Negative camber in the front will cause uneven tread wear far more than normal turning and driving causes on the front tires.

the dealer has "2-dot" camber bolts.

I'd use them for up to -2.5* more -ive at stock height.

you could use camber bolts in the front but would need 2 bolts for the top and bottom strut and you would probably get like -2 camber at the most. if you want the VIP look them cusco camber plates would be a better option for you.
