    Hey guys,

    I am about to purchase some camber bolts for my lowered GP but I have a quick question. I plan on going with the AC delco brand. When I had an alignment in the fall, my camber was showing -2.5 our on the rear left, and -2.2 on the rear right. Will I need 2 camber bolts per strut in the rear to bring this out. I don't know if there will be enough adjust-ability with just the 1 on top.

    Thanks.

    You only need 1 camber bolt per side.

    If you can get it around -1.5 all around, thats pretty good.

    Slot the strut is the other option.

    Gotcha. I'll go with 1 per side. Will I notice a huge difference if they can bring me in to -1.5 all around, as opposed to centering me out at lets say -1.1-1.2?? My guess is probably not.

    you won't notice the difference, but 2.5* is a lot for a daily driver when you don't need the clearance.

    Gotcha, and just for clarification, the camber bolt goes on top correct??? I've seen opinions from people on both top and bottom.

    the top is the typical place for it to go, yes.

    but to be serious, you can use it on top or bottom because i know a few people that use two camber bolts in order to get more camber to fit their huge wheels.
