Arrow Anybody else use camber strut bolts to fix their alignment?

Brought my evo to my friends work for an alignment, long story short I had to get some camber strut bolts with the little cam lobe on it to adjust the camber. Which bolt should I replace the strut bolts with, the top or bottom strut bolts? Or it doesn't make much of a difference?
Thanks

If your talking about the two that bolt the strut to the hub? Then the top one. The bolt with the lobe is called an eccentric bolt.

The eccentric bolt is for the top hole you'll see that the hole is oval for this reason

Wait a minute - there should have been eccentric bolts in the car when you took it in for alignment.

My fault then, I forget they had the eccentric bolts stock, I do remember the top ones being different when I had everything apart to pull the axles but totally slipped my mind, guess I can try and return the Eibach ones I got or resell em. Thanks for the help
