Default Camber adjustment bolts ??

Took my uk300 to have the geom set up today and the guys said it needs camber adjustment bolts to get it set up right.
Is this true and where would i get them from ?
Cheers

I had them put on 97 car - brilliant :-)

There's not really a right / wrong way to set up a car though, mild road, fast road/track, all track are different set ups, in fact different set ups per track in the end.

However to get the set up I was advised to start with by Whiteline UK I did need camber bolts - wish I'd done it years ago, for the price you pay you'll be very happy.

Think I got mine from Rallynuts

The front struts already have camber adjusting bolts fitted. You can get them from varioius places. I fitted whiteline ones to the rear when I fitted my Tein flex.

Whether you need them or not will depend on the geometry settings you are trying to achieve

just trying to set the car up so the insides of the front tyres dont get worn out like my last ones.
They had a nasty groove on the inside edges.
Bye the way its on the front sorry.

It is possible to set the camber to factory settings without camber bolts.
If you want to run more negative camber you will need camber bolts to achieve say Front -1.75'-2.00' Rear -1.25' - 1.30'

For the inside to wear badly you have too much camber OR, more likely, too much toe in.

Find a company that know what they are doing and not a kid, called a tyre fitter, who has been shown how to use laser equipment for an hour and turned loose. Getting it done prperly and the difference is very noticable.
