From what I read today, you can't use the OEM camber bolts anywher but their intended location, the top bolt hole in the strut...[Edit: You *could* but you'd have to drill the hole ovular] not 100% if that's the case though.

Alex, get thee a 3 way adjustable swaybar. I don't *think* you need upgraded mounts, but you'll want solid endlinks for sure. Brand isn't super important on these, but grease all the bushings with lithium grease when you install it.

Buy the H&R camber bolts. Let me know and I'll give you the number of a place that has them for like $36 +S&H IIRC. They allow 3 degrees of adjustment (as Scott mentioned) and they're supposedly much beefier than other aftermarket camber bolts.

Unfortunately the only true Suby parts dealer that seems to have them is Vivid Racing. I don't usually suggest Vivid, but maybe you can save some money on shipping by getting all of the parts there.

But if you really want to spend 500ish, I'd look into getting some camber/caster plates.

As far as an ideal street alignment I'd suggest -1.4 front and -1 rear.
