Hey, I fully built my suspension and the front has the minimum drop BMR springs while rear is stock. I had the car aligned and I’m not sure if I should consider camber bolts, I daily drive my car with some spirited driving at times, but have never tracked it. Not sure if it matters but it’s front 20x11 295/30/20 and rear 20x11 315/35/20

Camber bolts would fix your camber

Is it necessary? Not necessarily, with this camber you will have more grip in agressive turns
If your fine driving on agressive camber, its totally fine
The tire will wear badly but slowly so its really not that big a deal
If you want it in spec, camber bolts or camber adjustable shock tophats will do the same

-2* camber is totally fine on the street
Camber do not significantly wear tires, toe, yes. Major
Shout for 0 toe

The only reason to get camber bolts or plates would to be able to get -2.2 on each side.

It wont add wear but it will wear the edge more than wear it evenly
But agreed the setup currently for alignment is fine for street, without fixing camber

After installing a full BMR suspension, I took it in for alignment which took 4 hours. Camber was the issue and luckily I was able to get Steeda Camber bolts while it was on the rack. I should have bought them earlier and had them in the car at the shop just in case.

I love all the lawyers on here.

If it's an aftermarket warranty it is a contract and it depends on the verbage. IE any mods will void warranty.

Otherwise it falls under the statutes for warranty in the state of residence. This is a case where Moss comes into effect. The manufacturer has to prove a mod caused the malfunction.

Removing a cat will not cause a rod failure and Ford would have a very hard time proving this to an arbitrator or anyone.
Wrong thread and you are also wrong in your analysis
The manufacturer has nothing to prove UNTIL they are in court or in arbitration
They don’t have to prove anything at the time they tell you to go pound sand

Okay cool, I just bought the tires and the last ones had lots of outside tread and then cord showing on the inside. Maybe it was from toe on the alignment, I want to be able to avoid that this time. Can’t rotate the tires either since they’re stanced.

What would the best camber bolt be to get my alignment dialed in? Not worried about price, just don’t want to go camber plates as it seems unnecessary and I’ve heard of NVH with the plates.
