SPC Camber Bolt Solution - after lowering?
Has anyone used these with success to correct the excessive negative camber that results from lowering with H&R sport springs? I know the OEM crash bolts allow for 0.3 degrees of correction but if these allow for 1.5-1.75 degrees of correction, I’d much rather use the SPC bolts up front to be safe.

SPC 81260 Camber bolts

Looking to lower my 2012 sedan with H&R springs and have them on hand with 17mm pads for the rear. I want to map it out beforehand.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I used the Moog bolts, which are similar, on my W212 E63. They worked perfectly and got rid of an obnoxious pull to the right.

Thanks for the reply! Do you recall the Moog part number for your car so I can get an idea of what they look like?

Only thing that has me nervous is the fact that these bolts are designed for standard 2 bolt strut to hub layouts and that is different than the front c63 design.

These replace the inboard lower control arm bolts, not the strut bolts. Worked like a charm for me.

Part number K100157

Did they allow for more than 0.3 degrees of camber adjustment or is that all that was needed in your case?

They have three positions: centered, left of center, and right of center (or fore/aft, depending on your perspective). Each of the off center positions moves the camber or caster 0.3 degrees one way or the other. I set one fore and the other aft to achieve a 0.6-degree caster split to correct a pretty strong pull.
