    Camber Bolts home made.........

    Camber bolts..

    Been lookin at the k-tec ones but the look a little week. I really wanna try some negative camber see if it improves the handeling…

    Now some people ovalise the hole to make it adjustable BUT I recon (check this bodge) if I fit a slightly thinner bolt (10.9 allen bolt) with some serated washers done up tight… this should do the same thing..

    What you recon, also which hole, top or bottom…..

    Be warned mate, it will chew through tyres. I adjusted my camber 13mm (god knows what that is in deg) and it doesnt handle as well but its better than running silly camber on the road.

    But it does handle much better yeah

    YOU CAN ADAPT; the bottom ball joints... you need to re-position, or alter the holes...

    Demon Tweeks sell the bolts for £28 or so there Eisbeck branded but made by some other compnay they'll give you a lot of adjustment 9mm inside diameter so will give about 2 degrees of adjustment in the camber.

    I have the K-tec ones and have had no problems and the car has done at least 3 or 4 trackdays with them on. They worked a treat.
