yeah the front camber is aligned with a new set of bolts strangely enough. You can get them for like 20 bucks. It might vary in size depending on model year... I think 01-02 and 03-05 are diff. even though when I ordered mine (goldline) all it said was 01-up civic, I haven't had any problems, and I have an 03.

Tony, If it isn't tight enough, your camber can change and can even "fall out" if you hit a bump.

just a quick thread jacking...I thought ^that was possible, but I haven't seen any change since they were installed...either way if I were to get replacements, are the si and rsx bolts the same size as the 03-up civic?

I am confused. I did you reuse your stock bolts or get an aftermarket camber kit? SPC has 03+ front camber kits. You can just reuse your stock bolts but you won't get any camber adjustment out of them.

I dunno if you can get cam bolts at napa. Get the SPC set and yes you will need 14mm ones.

front camber wear shouldnt be an issue on the 01+ civic (excl. 02+si). you can slam 3" and front wheels wouldnt have camber wear

oh, I meant aftermarket ... I have what they said was for an 01-up civic by goldline, I was just wondering if I should replace them with 03-up specific. And by the way when I got my wheels and tires and dropped them without the front camber bolts, the front tires wore out on the inside in less than 8k. I know that hankook ventus aren't the best, but still... the back ones are still rolling with most of the tread left. It matters, you cant be buying tires every year.

I would replace them, but you will have to get another alignment.
