Yep that's it. You change the number of washers to get the camber you want. 3 or 4 washers is a good starting choice. Of course you have to have a way of measuring camber to know how many more/less washers you need (like Do It Yourself Alignment Tips or struts & alignment - Ford Mustang Forums : Corral.net Mustang Forum).

Also know that changing camber changes toe. And toe is what eats tires, not camber. So be sure to adjust toe afterwards.

Ok so No it didn't work ? i ordered a 2G kit, the threads are different from the original bolts and there was too much resistance when i tried to turn the new bolts in .
? any one ?

Anyone had this similar experience, ? did i get the wrong bolts sent to me ?

looks like they are wrong. you want 1.25 for the thread pitch not 1.5 like those are. If my memory serves me right the bolts are 10mm so go to home depot or lowes or any other hardware store and get m10x1.25 bolts x what ever length you need.

 

[miliman13]

Right. or i could just get them replaced at no cost . it seems i was given the wrong ones then.

 

[Paul@RTM]

Those were from STM? If so, they must have sent you the wrong parts. Must have been a simple goofup, 'cause STM knows their DSM/EVO stuff.

Ya they sent you the wrong pitch.

You can also get the bolts at hardware stores like ACE or Hardware Hank which typically have more metric selection than stores like Home Depot. You want M10 x 1.25 x 30-40mm (depending on how many washers you use). Use the longest one that will work with the number of washers you end up using yet won't bottom out when tightened. As I recall 30mm works with 3 washers, 40mm for more. Too short and not enough threads will engage so it can (and did on me) pop out and damage the threads. Too long and it will bottom out causing the bracket to not get tight. MAKE SURE you get bolt strength of at least 8.8 minimum (10.9 would be better).

If you already tried to crank that bolt into the car you may have damaged the threads on the captive nut welded to the car. I would run a 10x1.25 TAP through the hole to clean up any chewed threads. Just to be sure you don't damage the new bolts or further cross thread the holes.

thank you gentlemen for the help, i just wanted to make sure that i wasn't the one who was doing something wrong. I'm sure STM will resolve the issue , if not at least i know what bolts i need.
