GR86 Camber Bolts

What are the best camber bolts

Whiteline or H&R or other brands

It's on about 1700 miles at the moment. From some alignment spec sheets I've seen floating around the net, it seems the tolerance for rear camber is between - 0.5 to - 2 deg, so my car is probably still within spec (clearly I'm on the unlucky side though...)

The reason why I wanted a touch of toe in at the front is because my car seems to lose all steering self centering within a few degrees around straight ahead. If you were to say turn the steering wheel 3 degree to the right and then let go of the wheel, the wheel won't return to centre and the car will continue drifting to the right, making the car quite tiring to drive. That's why I wanted to try a touch of front toe to add a bit of straight ahead definition to the steering.

Ideally, I'd like to run a lot more front castor on my car (used to run a Nissan S14a at 8 degree castor, Merc W204 C class at 11 deg). They had a lovely sense of the steering loading up with lateral load, and in comparison the GR86's steering feels intuitive, precise but a bit flat in comparison (hydraulic rack on those cars probably helped also...) Alas, not something we can change on our car unless we add adjuatable top mounts....

I'm much happier with where it is at the moment compared to stock; definitely up for more experimentation in the future though so taking out front toe might be something to try in the future for sure!

Totally understandable then.

In terms of better self centreing, this top mount seems to be recommended by quite a few people. Should add some caster if you choose to without going full on adjustable top mounts.

Funny one of the things I liked about the 86 was its steering and lack of agressive return to center. I found it an easy car to drive.

I liked mine with toe out at the front, nice positive turn in feel and didn't find the car wandered much

Same. I like it's a car that needs to be steered and not driven that much on autopilot. That said I found it great on the longer ruins I've done like Japfest, C&M, etc.
 
I have set whiteline 16 mm camberbolts never used.

if someone interested i want to sell them.
 
Mine came in an Eibach box but the bolts themselves were stamped SPC. Got them from Fensport.
