Camber bolts, aka crash bolts.

If you move either one of those bolts, or rather their orientation on the knuckle, you can move the strut on it, so if you make this instead:

0

Then you can move the top one, therefore giving you room to move it. The drawback is then the fact that it can slip, making for a bizarre camber setting. Ever seen an SRT with 5 degrees of negative camber only on one wheel? It's a funny sight.

Modern carries camber adjustment bolts from Goldline, which is what I'm using. I've beat the hell out of my suspension, and have yet to have a single one slip. So I'd use those instead of just using smaller bolts.

go to an alignment shop and tell them you want as much negative camber (in the front) as possible.... they may be able to do as much as -0.85* at each side

my local big 10 tire shop will slot the struts for about 100.00. slotting is best. makes things alot easier. i've had problems maintaining camber with the eibach camber bolts. going back to a stock bolt and a slotted strut is coming this week.

I ran -2.50+ for two weeks on city streets and I wasted my old tires!! haha. Those Nitto 450's are as good as gone!!

-1 all the way around is very good for performance..

Ive got -2.75 in the front and -1 in the rear. As well as -.05 toe in the rear and -.15 in the front. With the front struts a turn down from full stiff and the rears at full stiff Im pretty happy with it, as long as my tire pressures are right. Little over 100 miles so far on this set up and one track event and the tires have suprizingly even wear. Before my Konis I had -2 degrees in the front and theres hardly any excess wear on the insides.

But then these crappy tires are rock hard. lol
