camber adjustment question (stock struts)
I have an '08 GSR, lowered about an inch on swift springs. Enkei RPF1's, 18x9.5 with 265/35/18 Dunlop DZ102's. (rest of suspension is stock)
I need to adjust the camber based on the tread-wear of my tires, the inside is completely worn out while the middle/outside of the tires has plenty of tread. The alignment is fine as I have had it checked a few times.
I am wondering what parts I need to have the camber adjusted. From other threads I understand the stock camber bolts can be adjusted quite a bit and can likely achieve the camber most people need. If that is true, where can I order front OEM camber bolts? I can only find the rear. The shop I went to previously noted if they try adjust the existing bolts they may break, so I wanted to order new OEM ones.
If bolts are insufficient, what camber plates should I order?
Thanks

I'm really not sure, I don't think the previous shop was able to adjust the camber much, as they were afraid they would break the bolts. I believe it may be close to stock, so -1 ?
Thanks

well -1 is pretty much recommended. So buying camber stuff for that would be a waste of money. The rear the is easily adjustable as long as they know what they are doing. And the only way your gonna be able to 0 out the front is with camber plates for the top. But I wouldn't bother, just buy some new tires and call it a day and make sure you rotate them!

-1* camber is not wearing the inside of your tires. As razor stated, it is likely a toe issue. Find a new alignment shop. Camber doesn't really present a tire wear "issue" until you start running a lot, like -3* or more.
