OTG camber and shims stacked in the rear, bolts up front. Didn't get charged anything, cause i know someone, but should have cost 70 bucks

are you using 2 sets of bolts up front. top and bottom. 1.5 x 2 = 3?
even with the 10mm and -3 shims, it read 2 different numbers?
im just curious.

used porsche suspension bolts for the front struts, both holes, adjusted the camber accordingly to what i wanted. The rears are just the camber plates and the spacer

the suspensions on these cars arent made with very high tolerances

if you notice also the passenger side rear tire sticks out more than the other side of our cars. i wouldnt be surprised if the camber measurements didnt match from side to side either.

got my alignment last week and I had -2.9 up front on both sides. odd since my bolts are supposed to be from 0 to 1.75 degrees. but the tech said the laser don't lie. I had him adjust the toe and put the bolts at -2.0. sweet.

eric, that's one bolt - in the top. can you feel the love?
