F+R camber adjustable??

So Im thinking about getting H&R coilovers but I dont think it comes with camber plates.. Just wondering, is the factory rear camber adjustable? What about the front?

This is a good question and I don't have facts, but if our cars are able to be aligned, I would assume camber and toe are adjustable to some degree...?

The only alignment adjustment on our cars F/R is toe-in. There are crash bolts you can get for the front camber and caster but they have limited adjust ability and allow only two positions to increase or decrease settings.

K-MAC makes aftermarket bushings that will run you $480 an axle plus shipping. Camber and caster bushings for the front and camber and toe bushings for the rear.

Megan Racing has rear camber arms that are adjustable.

Isn't the rear camber adjustable?

Apparently not without aftermarket doo dads
My 2 alignments have both sides at 1 deg 3x min
Basically in the middle of spec

no adjustable rear camber. They arent "CRASH" bolts, they are just adjustment bolt kits. they change the camber about 20minutes, or 1/3 of a degree which is quite alot

What are the factory settings for camber and caster? And has anyone seen how much that changes by taking out the "slop" in the bolts. Ie, loosening the bolts, pushing the top/pulling the bottom while someone tightens the bolts.

I'm going to bet theres probably 1/4 to 1/2 deg. available there.

LOL...I just heard other members refer to them as CRASH bolts so whats the harm. Will refer to them as adjustment bolts from now on so I don't start a misnomer.

crash implies they only belong in cars that are screwed up from a wreck which is not the case at all.

hmmm no suspension options with camber adjustable, pillow ball strut tops. Relying on camber adjustment at the control arm or through crash bolts. Polyurethane bushings a given, but no spherical bushing options? Am I hearing this right?

This has probably been in other threads. This and the oil cooler BS upgrades to prevent limp mode.

Sorry, still new to this car
