Default Camber bolts

Hi guys, coilovers going on this weekend, just double checking, camber bolts in the top, facing fully out front and rear or just rear? I have camber adjustable top mounts for the fronts on my hsd coilovers, would I need the camber bolts on the front?

Camber bolt not recommended if you have adjustable top mount.

I've been told that adjustable top mounts are used to get it "into the ballpark" and then finetuned with the bolts where available as it's easier to get them setup accurately.

I don't like camber bolt if I don't have to use it because you are putting a 12mm bolt through a 14mm hole.
If you have an adjustable top mount, then you don't really need it.

The MeisterR coilovers top hole are slightly elongated anyways.
So that mean you can "push" or "pull" the hub to get more or less camber at the bottom, then fine tune it on top.
It is a pretty common system and you will find that in many car with MacPherson Strut such as WRX, Nissan S13 / S14, etc.

Yep I've got a slight chattering noise at the back which I'm sure is the eibach bolt stuck in the large hole.

When I next get round to it, I'll return to OEM bolts and simply have camber adjustment done at the top.
