I would, I'm just pretty broke right now. Need front tires soon, tuning, and other stuff.

 

Hmmm, I don't know the factory specs on a fc but when I was setting up other vehicles I tried for -.5*camber and usually -.25-.75* toe as a starting point. At one time I was actually running upwards of -1.3* camber to get the best handleing out of the ranger with 255/50/17's on the front and 275/40's on the rear.... Stock settings are great for tire wear, but you can do a little tweaking and get a better handeling vehicle. I also always had mine set just like I was drving it (IE me in it, 1/2 tank of gas, anything I ran with in it, etc) to set try alignment not just be able to hit specs, but then again I would usually play with my alugnment 2 or 3 times a year so maybe I took it to far.

As far as those bolts I have installed similar in several vehicles and never had a problem out of them.

 

-.75 degree toe???????? I hope you're not driving that on the highway.....darty **** that would be.

usually, convention for toe-in is positive toe and negative for toe-out.

The fear comes from going on a road course with those things and neglecting maintenance. One would hate to have their bolts slip mid corner and send them into a wall.

 

camber in the rear does change quite a bit with ride height, and its got a fairly long travel at the wheel too.

yeah the spec miatas have that happen all the time, you put sticky tires on the car, and its enough to loosen the adjuster bolts...

 

Maybe I could try to figure a way to make it stay more secure.

 

drill new holes on the shock tower... notch the bottom fo the strut....

 

I have these on my 88 vert and they were fine to bring the camber back to spec after installing the racing Beat springs on my KYB struts. I used one set to replace the top bolt on my struts. If you drop you car more than 1.5 inch you may need to use a set on top and a set on the bottom to get more adjustment.
They have not moved from where I set them when I did an alignment and durability should not be an issue as they are made from hardened steel.
Cheap and effective for the need I had.
Definetly would go for camber plates for a more radical drop using coilovers.

 

thank you slpin, thats what i said to begin with if you are too broke for camber plates, coil overs, or w/e else.

peace
