Are you sure. I think the stock are round diameter. These are oval to make more adjustment.

Yeah. Of the two bolts that hold the front struts to the hub, the upper one is eccentric. It's the bolt w/ the arrow on the bolt-head.

I have these, just no installed yet (lazy). Ingalls list them as being +/- 2* adjustment, as the should have a taller "lobe" than the stock eccentrics.

Hopefully.

I got mine for like, $27 shipped off of the eBay.

I bought them to see if I really could get -2* out of them, as a way to not spend $150+ on camber plates. I just need to get them in, and get an alignment to see how they work out. I figure if they don't do what I want, oh well, they were $30...

you could always use the stock ones on the bottom as well to get even more camber out of it.

and as a side benefit , you would be able to rotate the bottom ones(since there isn't any tab to keep them
indexed) and fine tune the camber to match each side better.

normally you don't have any choice but in or out on the upper hole, so the camber is what it is once the top bolt is in place.

Sounds interesting.

Another reason I'm waiting to install them is because one of my friends is a manager at Sears Auto Center, and he's waiting for his and this other dudes schedule to match up for closing so I can go over there at close and we can play around on the alignment machine.

I'll try Ingalls top only and Ingals top/stock eccentric bottom and post results.

are you running camber plates with springs or coilovers? When I went to get aligned last year on STOCK suspension they tried to sell me the Ingalls and I was like...."nah". I am putting my GF210s on shortly and was thinking of some brand of camber plate. Maybe Cusco or Tein or whatever.

Past -2 degrees you should be getting camber plates anyway to be reliable and consistent.

Camber bolts slipping isn't fun. Not "common" but it does happen.

Since you can get -1.8 with the stock adjustment, camber bolts on EVO's just isn't done as much as it is on most cars.

They sure are cheaper then plates though, I'll give them that.
