What are the camber bolts for? I thought the top plates on your struts were already camber adjustable?
Yeah, 'cept when you don't have the stock camber bolts in the front, the tires tend to wobble between 0 and -1.5 deg of camber. The last place that did my alignment stripped out a camber bolt and just left it in there, now that I took it out during the installation of my coilovers, I was forced to put some spare non-camber bolts in the front, and the camber is now dynamic in a *real* bad way. Basically I keep off the freeway and try not to drive far, so a trip to Willows is not happening unless I get some bolts installed tonight.

Which reminds me, time to call the place I ordered 'em from and find out where the hell they are! Otherwise I may be begging for a ride to Carson City to pick some up from the dealer down there.
