Camber bolts are for the front. They look like this



The ones in the car are not adjustable.

Re: Help With Camber Kit for my em2

Definite yes on the cam bolts but they might not be enough if your gonna drop it 3 inches you still might get some tire lean.. im at 2 inches and the cam bolts barely corrected the lean.

Re: Help With Camber Kit for my em2

02 uses 14mm, if that's the question.
if you use 16mm, you need to drill out the knuckles for them to fit.
3 in and that means your rear camber kit will not be enough to have them close to zero, if memory serves me well, so you need to compensate by increasing the front neg camber?

Re: Help With Camber Kit for my em2

no, the struts have a hole bigger than the bolts, so you either use the reducing washers or drill out the knuckles and install the larger bolts. search the site for reducer washers and you will understand what I mean.

Re: Help With Camber Kit for my em2

Your going to need DC5 tie rod ends also. The bushing on the rear struts May also have to be shaved down a couple mm to fit. Don't know if the shop will do that, might want to ask just incase they do.

Re: Help With Camber Kit for my em2

Why would I need dc5 tie rods if on a form they said only need reducing washers for the 02 and a camber kit.
