Correcting pos camber ?
I have positive camber on my front wheel
Will camber bolts make it 0 or -?
Or should i get camber plates. If so I'm using adjustable Tokico HTS 601Rs with RS*R Springs what one would work?

Its enough to wear one side of the tire faster.
What camber plates would work for my situation? I don't have coilovers but my shocks are adjustable

well IMO, since it should not have positive camber stock, that means something is bent.
step one is to fix the bent part.
step two is to loosen everything up, and tighten it to get as much negative camber as you can (my car ended up about -.5
step three is to spend money on camber plates. you're looking for a plate that doesnt use the pillow ball for the spring load. ideally you want the spring to seat on the plate, and the shock uses the pillow ball.

I'm sorry its both tires. They both have the same pos camber. The only thing that it a bit bet is one of my tie rods.
thanks for the info about plates. Any chance you would know of any brands that would fit my application that you would recommend?

Make sure your stock strut tops are in the best position for the camber you want. The strut is off center from the 4 bolt pattern. If you look at it close you will be able to tell. Put the strut shaft as far back and in as you can. You have four choices of position.
Also, I have to disagree with the spring riding on a plate without a bearing taking the load. When you turn the steering you will cause the spring to strange things when you twist it. The best camber plates will have bearings, and your road noise will increase a little.
