Forgive me if I'm totally off base. I think Belarus and I are trying to accomplish the same thing but I am unsure of your motives .

I suppose either way, if it will pull yours in, it can push ours out! Between these bolts being a success and the specialty products bushing set for the rear I'm extremely excited. The other vendor (I forget the name) you referenced in this thread earlier was close to 1k for the front and rear package when I looked a while ago. sub 150 bucks + alignment I can totally handle!!! I'll be watching this thread CLOSELY the next week. My blizzaks and the soft compound rubber don't handle camber very well .

Thank you for posting all of this!

Cheers!
Yes, my goal is to get maximum negative camber with these camber bolts so I can fit wider wheels. I like the aggressive look

I can't justify spending $500 on KMAC bushings for the front only to gain 1.75 degrees of camber. That is why I'm trying my best to get these bolts to work!

Any suggestions on which lock washer I should use? I got 1/2" and 5/8". Both will work but should I pick the 1/2" since it's closer to the diameter of the camber bolt shank?

1/2"

5/8"

5/8"

Is there a fastenal store near you? They likely have more options that will be a better fit.

Based on your experiences with them so far, do you think they would work acceptably to decrease the negative camber to address alignment/allow for proper tire wear? (I love the aggressive look but blizzaks on factory 18" amg's in the snow isn't the time for that)

I never tried adjusting the camber bolt for positive camber, however with the results I got for negative camber I think they will work good to adjust for proper tire wear!
