A little alignment help plz.

Well I decided to align my 700mile old Evo today and as it turns out the factory alignment was way out. My question is about the ft. camber bolts. Can you rotate them like an eccentric, or do you need to leave them on the flats?

Before: L R After: L R
Rear camber--1'04/-1'13 -1'45/-1'45
Rear toe-0'05/0'14 0'01/0'01
Front camber--0'56/-0'44 -2'08/-1'54
Front toe--0'02/-0'01 0'01/0'01
Caster-3'49/3'48 3'49/3'48

I tried swapping the ft. camber bolts every which way, but that's as close as I could get them. There's still a ton of adjustment in the rear.

Yes you can rotate them like eccentric bolts to increase or decrease the -ve camber in the front. If I remember correctly, the arrows pointed in increases -ve camber ... it's been a while.

There's no arrows on the bolts. There's just two flat spots on the bolt which drastically change the camber. I'm guessing they're supposed to be left on the flats but I rotated one just for ***** n' giggles, and it seemed to work fine. I'm just wondering if anyone else has done that on a IX. I'm worried the bolts might loosen.
