Default Front camber bolts, top or bottom hole?

As the title, i'm getting some conflicting information so I thought i'd ask.

I'm fitting camber bolts to my OEM suspension, some say on the front that they go in the bottom hole is this correct?

54 plate blob wrx.

Top, as it pivots on the bottom bolt.

fronts have a std factory camber bolt in the top anyhows, generally leave that in place and fit after market one in the lower hole if your looking to gain more than the factory fit can offer.......

at the rear fit in the top hole

only the bottom hole front suspension can be used for an aftermarket camberbolt.
the standard factory camber bolt must be retained in the top hole to give security.
Rears can be top or bottom or both

What Alyn said , top hole for standart bolt bottom for Eibach or any other aftermarket camber bolts... The washer "nipple" on the front in the bottom hole has to point out , towards you to push the shock in the right direction.( pusjes out bottom part of shock and top bolt pulls in the top part of the shock for max camber) Rear camber bolt washer point in.
