Hey everyone, I got a couple questions about camber. Sorry if some have already been answered. I did read about all of the 8 pgs here.

Anyways I just installed my buddy club n+ coils, skunk2 rear camber kit and ingalls front camber bolts.

1.) First of all...i only used two bolts up front. One on each side...i replaced the upper strut bolt on both sides. And have the tabs facing inwards for negative camber. Is this right or do i need to buy another pair and replace both bolts on both sides?

2.) After the front bolts were installed i noticed my right tire was already negativley cambered without adjustment, but my left tire seems to be straight or maybe even a little positively cambered. This can be fixed once an alignment is done and the negative camber is dialed in...correct?

3.) I am going to be running about a 2 inch drop...what would be recommended for camber for front and rear? I was thinking -1.5 in the front and -1 in the rear?

Thanks in advance!
