turco if you get longer camber bolts you could probably get it down to like -3.5 in front, pretty aggressive for street, I think the stock camber bolts are good enough for like a -2 to -2.5 in the front

so here is the quote of the day for me....i was reading this article about fortune 500 companies that were involved with the *****. One of them is Siemens. I guess they tried to market a line named after Zyklon (the gas used in the holocaust). The author writes:
"Well, a few years ago, in an act of insensitive ****ery so colossal it could blot out the sun, Siemens tried to trademark the name "Zyklon" with the intent of marketing a series of products under the name. Including gas ovens."
Are people REALLY that obtuse?

camber bolts do not hold up as well. they have a tendency of slipping.
camber plates are good for a few reasons:
- they hold the alignment better
- you can have different settings for the street and track and adjust them reliably
- you can also adjust castor on some of them
the downside is cost and ride quality. removing the oem strut tops and going to metal plates is probably going to increase harshness a bit.

oh yah- once you change the springs, all bets are off as far as what the stock hardware can do for your alignment. i think with the swift springs, my rear camber was almost -2 degrees in the rear. camber plates would have solved the problem, but a set of coilovers seemed like a better idea.
