I'm lowering my car 1.75" this week with a couple friends. I have the write up of how to put the springs in, but I'm not sure what to do with the camber bolts that I have. Could someone who knows please sketch out something like that (i'm more visual)... I'd really appreciate it...

If you only have one bolt per wheel, put it in the upper hole. The upper wheel mount fits inside the lower strut mount. Normally these 2 peices are colinear. Rotating the camber bolt changes the angle between them.

Clear as mud?

Clear Mud on sight... laugh.gif
What's all that about these camber bolts not holding an autoX day? I have the Eibach's kit (two sets; I didn't know you were suposed to use two on each side, but I bought an extra kit for the rear tires, now they can wait).

regarding auto-x...all I know is this...I installed them, torqued them per instruction to 40 lb/ft and they didn't hold thier setting. I reset them and torqued them to 80 lb/ft and they still didn't hold. They were fine on the street but autox is a lot higher g-load.
