Eibach Pro-Alignment Camber Bolts - Front
You lowered your Civic, RSX, Fit, or CR-Z and now your alignment shop's telling you they can't get your front camber back in spec? Eibach's Pro-Alignment camber bolts replace your factory 14mm strut-to-knuckle bolts with eccentric hardware that gives you +/- 1.75 degrees of front camber adjustment. That's enough range to correct a lowered car back into factory alignment specs or dial in aggressive negative camber for dialing in an aggressive wheel/tire setup. Every time you lower your car, you're adding negative camber. Drop it 1.5 inches and you're picking up around -1 degree of negative camber that your alignment shop can't fix with stock hardware. The inside edge of your front tires wears out way faster than the rest of the tread and you're burning through tires. These camber bolts give your alignment tech the adjustment range they need to set your camber where it's supposed to be.
Here's Why Lowering Kills Your Alignment
When you lower your car on springs or coilovers, the suspension geometry changes. The strut angle gets steeper and that adds negative camber to your front wheels. The top of your tire's leaning in toward the engine. Every inch you drop your car adds roughly -0.75 degrees of negative camber. On a mild 1.5 inch drop, you're already sitting at around -1 degree more camber than stock. Factory alignment specs are usually around -0.5 to -1 degree. Now you're at -1.5 to -2 degrees and your alignment shop can't bring it back because the factory hardware doesn't have enough adjustment range. Your tires are wearing on the inside edge and you're replacing them way more often than you should be. Camber bolts fix that by giving you the adjustment range to correct the camber back to factory specs.
Track Guys Want the Opposite
If you're tracking your car, you actually want more negative camber up front. Negative camber means the tire's contact patch stays flatter when you're cornering hard and leaning the car over. Most track setups run between -1.0 and -2.0 degrees of front camber depending on the car and the tire. The stock alignment bolts won't let you go that far negative even if you've lowered the car. Camber bolts give you the range to dial in aggressive negative camber for track use without needing camber plates or adjustable top hats on your coilovers.
This Is Just a Bolt Swap
You're not tearing apart your suspension. Pull the wheel, unbolt the two factory 14mm bolts that connect the strut to the knuckle, swap in the Eibach eccentric bolts, torque them down, done. That's the mechanical side. After you've installed the bolts, get your car to an alignment shop. The camber bolts give you the adjustment range but the alignment tech's the one who actually sets your camber angle using an alignment rack. Don't skip the alignment. The bolts don't magically fix your camber - they just give you the range to adjust it properly.
Camber Bolts vs. Camber Plates
Camber plates are another way to adjust front camber but they're way more expensive and they're more invasive to install. You're pulling the struts out of the car and swapping the top mounts. Camber bolts are cheaper and you're just swapping bolts. If you need camber adjustment and you're not going crazy with it, camber bolts are the move. If you're building a serious track car and you need maximum adjustment or you're running really stiff springs that need adjustable spring perches, then camber plates make sense. For most street and street/track cars, camber bolts do the job.

Note: Professional alignment is required after installation. The camber bolts give you the adjustment range but you need an alignment rack to actually set your camber angle properly. Don't try to eyeball it or set it by hand. When you're at the alignment shop, tell the tech you've installed camber bolts so they know you've got the adjustment range. If you're setting up for street use, ask them to bring your camber back to factory specs. If you're tracking the car, tell them what camber number you want. Most street/track setups run around -1.5 to -2.0 degrees of front camber. Too much negative camber on a street car will wear your tires out fast and make the car feel twitchy in a straight line. Get it aligned properly and you won't have problems.
