front camber adjustment.

What is the best way to adjust it? like i know you can get ingalls 14mm Fastcam bolts but is their a better way? if not do other companies make better bolts that adjust more? i am trying to search but i am at work so i can only spend so much time on here

i am getting the skunk 2 V2 rear camber arms and i am trying to find what is best for the front. my setup is HFP with tein s-techs. i know i could probably go without camber stuff but i have new tires and it already needs a alignment so i thought i would get all my stuff on and do it all at once.

Why spend money on upgrading a suspension for better handling when you are negating some potential gains with more negative camber in the rear and almost no negative in the front?

Adding more negative camber in the front than the rear will introduce more favorable handling characteristics by dialing out some of the stock understeer for the more favorable oversteer.

Buy whichever is cheaper. The Ingalls bolts used to be marked "SPC" and may still be, so no need to pay more for one over the other.

SPC part # is 81260: SPC Application Search - Product

Ingalls part # is 81260: 81260 - 14mm Fastcam Bolts, Pair - Ingalls Engineering Co., Inc.

Coincidence?
