Link didn't work for me, probably because im on my phone. are you wanting to do all 4 corners?

I'm not so sure I would use those, especially for something as important as suspension. I used the bolt and washer method for the rear and left the front alone, it wasn't too far off spec and the -2* in the rear turned into . 04 or less.

Good luck and I would recommend installing the camber kit on an alignment rack so its easier to make adjustments.

The good thing about slider eye-bolts is they don't cost you travel (as the adjustable ball-joints do). The bad thing about sliders is that they seem to slip quite often.

Of course, if the OP sets the coilovers to an intelligent amount of drop and zeros the front toe, he or she doesn't need or want a front camber kit, but he or she already knew that from his or her searching.

In the rear, a stack of washers and longer bolts is the answer. But you all knew that already, too.

I don't have any personal experience with those. But these are the ones that I'm using.

Come to think of it, I don't have any personal experience with mine yet either.

in my personal opinion the washer method seems a bit edge for me, i have a set for moog rear camber kit that looks a lot safer then to add round washers after washer, you get 6 in total and each 2 has a thicker gauged plate, here is a link to it good luck.

It accomplishes the same thing. Theoretically the moog kit would be more unsafe, it can fall out if the bolts loosen, where as the bolt would have to come all the way out for the washers to come out.

I actually used longer bolts with a 1/2" nut as a spacer instead of a stack of washers, my car is pretty low and it worked out perfect.

Don't know how much front camber you need to dial back in, but a single Ingalls camber bolt is good for perhaps two degrees, whereas two doubles that. I'm using Eibach Prokit springs and a single bolt per front corrects the camber nicely (make certain the control arm bushings and ball joints are good before trying to nail down the camber).

I hope that works out for you. A nut might be too unstable with so little surface area. The forces generated at the mating surfaces could also be much higher, too, because of the limited surface area.
