v-dug, before buying camber plates to increase static front camber consider to keep
stock camber dynamically, say, when cornering, by stiffer bushes on lower arms
and strut mounts. Both body roll and bush flexing steal a serious amount of camber.

Front camber is -3.0° (stock is -0.3°, Euro is -0.4°).
Rear camber is -3.0° (stock is -1.3°, Euro is -1.45°).

Don't get fooled by degrees and minutes. :D

1 degree° = 60 minutes', at least in Europe.

Factory camber spec on front is:

-0°45' > decimal: -0.75°

Factory camber spec on rear is:

-1°45' > decimal: -1.75°

;)

Quick question about adjusting my camber. I only want to add a degree or so of camber, is this possible so far I've really only read about people maxing out the camber or setting it to stock but what position should the nut and washer be in just to add a little camber?

Thanks for clarifying. I wasn't aware.

IMO, It's impossible to eyeball and adjust the camber...even 1 degree. I'm not even sure if a thread can be used *like when adjusting the toe. Someone more knowledgeable will probably chime in soon.

See Modshack's post in the previous page for a camber gauge.

Yes. In my case I was hoping to increase the neg camber so I could get the car to the alignment shop since the clearance was close, but I did not have to.

How do I stop the washer from spinning when im tightining the bolt? I have the washer small side on the inside for max camber but it spins right when T start to put on the bolt?
