Yeah I know, just get camber plates ... There, I've said it ...
OK now that's out of the way, until I drop the front suspension (at which point I will fit camber plates), I need a short term solution to provide some form of front camber adjustment.
I see camber bolts from various manufacturers (Pedders, Steeda, BMR, Eibach, Whiteline & Powerflex) and I see various levels of adjustment listed from 1.0° (Steeda & Eibach) upto 2.5° (BMR).
How can that be ? Is the adjustment range not fixed by the size constraints of the bolt and bolt hole ? Is it just creative marketing ?
If you were to pick one manufacturer, which would it be ? (even if it's just based on them all being the same, but one type having better plating or simply because it's the cheapest etc)
I see that Steeda, BMR & Whiteline recommend the same tightening torque (125 lb ft) compared to Powerflex (90 lb ft) so Powerflex is kind of already ruled out ...
Are there any manufacturers I should particularly stay away from ?
Based on evidence rather than rumours, has anyone ever had a S550 camber bolt fail or slip assuming it was installed correctly ?
Thanks in advance for any responses
