You should check the code as well. Go to Autozone and have them check it.

I already have Stillen camber bars but the more the camber is adjusted, the worse the toe-in gets ... hence the need for only the toe bolts.

Yeah that looks to be essentially the same thing, thanks for that website, never heard of it before but it seems like a great resource!

Well I guess that depends on what you consider "wear out tires that badly"... This was with rear camber at about -2.25 with toe very close to spec...



If the toe is off, it should shred the whole tire whereas negative camber just rides the insides of the tire...

If you'd like to grab the Cipher to do some logging to try to figure out what is going on just let me know. That's what it's here for! Also, you can scan the code and see what it is and clear it as well.

Back on topic, I'm looking at getting the BC coilovers, so I would need camber adjustment kits as well, let me know what you go with Jon and how it turns out.

I went ahead and ordered the toe bolts from Eddie at THMotorsports, he gave me a good price. I called over to Rock Auto and their price is $22.79 but that's only for 1 toe bolt so Eddie's shipped price is actually better.

Hopefully this will take care of the rear alignment and I won't have to replace that knuckle on the drivers side.

I still need to look into that TopSpeed front camber arm to see if it will be enough to pull a degree or so of positive camber...

Damn, I could be slanging toe bolts instead of crack and make a fortune! At least toe bolts aren't illegal

Yeah it's highway robbery (percentage-wise at least). Fortunately they're only marking up a $0.49 item 10000%, just imagine if they did the same to the camber arms
