As Viper said, it depends. Are you lowered or stock height? I run 20”, but I’m also bagged. The camber bolts will only give you like 0.3 degrees. So you’ll need actual arms if you need to adjust it more than that.

I’m not lowered( stock sport suspension), and I was just curious because I’m getting new 20” wheels soon. Need a alignment soon so I thought I should go ahead buy the camber bolts Incase of it to late.

We therefore manufacture 2 forms of adjustment.
Replacement of the '4' lower arm (highest wearing) bushings. Providing also precise, single wrench Camber and also Caster adjustment (up to 1.5 degrees Camber) P/N 502916 K $480 see attached fitting sheet.
For further adjustment "Replacement Top Strut Mounts" (Coil Spring Models) - up to extra 3 degrees for Track days in the pursuit of front row of the grid lap times. Significantly reducing understeer allowing to go deeper into the corners with increased traction and braking response.
The unique patented design allows fast/accurate adjustment from engine bay (2 versions):
STAGE 3 (Full Race) P/N 502916-3 L $545
FOR THE REAR also similar single wrench adjustable replacement bushing kit with Camber (and extra Toe to compensate for the new Camber facility) P/N 502226 $480
ANOTHER POPULAR KIT - Uprated bushings for the 6 multi link rear arms. Less twitch, flex, loss of traction - especially when applying power to lane change / overtake P/N 502628 K $480

Do it yourself or find someone who has done it. Mark the bolt heads where the slots are to make sure that both seat properly in the notches in the arms. Otherwise you will be chasing noise and vibration issues.
They are only like $15 so worth the effort. I did. Now there are $500-2k solutions which have their own drama depending on who you ask but they dial you in perfectly.

I ordered mine online but cannot remember where. Since you are having alignment done there then just get the bolts from them I assume.
