only use one per side to adjust. you can get +/- 2 degrees out of a bolt if i remember right.

Not sure if you are Brembo equipped or not, even if not how it will differ, but I just thought I would chime in as I have the same springs and I had to install caster/camber plates ON TOP of the camber bolts to get my camber right.

At first, the bolts were fine, but once the springs settled, it definitely needed further adjustment.

the bolts usually give more adjustment than a plate. you do not need more than one per side and make sure whoever installs them knows what they are doing.

take it to a shop. the measurements are so precise that even with a well trained eye you can only get it close.

I'd probably notch out the struts before putting camber bolts in, assuming stock struts. Camber bolts are a smaller diameter so you lose some strength in that area.

Just put maximum motorsports cc plates on my car. Either the bolts alone were not good enough or sears can't align a car for shit. I wasn't in the system and I don't have a receipt so I couldn't hold them to the warranty. Regardless I got hardcore wear on the inside of my tires.

I used the maximum motorsports camber gauge and did the alignment myself this time.

I'm running the Sportlines as well. The Eibach camber bolts were enough to bring me back into factory specs. Make sure you tell whoever is aligning your car that you have adjustable camber bolts and that they know how to adjust them.

We're those included with the sportlines?
