Coilover Alignment Setting Query!

For the front Camber setting, should the top camber plate setting match the bottom eccentric camber bolt setting?

For example if I set the top plate to -1 degree, should the bottom "arrow" bolt be set to -1 also?

What is ideal? Keeping the top camber plate at zero and just use the "arrow" mounting bolt for the camber? Or vice versa..? Should they always be same setting?

I was hoping those of you with coilover experience could enlighten me, thank you for any information!

Quick answer is no, it does not have to match. The plates are there to increase the ability to run more camber that what is allowed from the oem setup. A good street setup is -2 front, -1.5 rear, 0 toe.

Thanks, I'm guessing you are running 0 toe for both front and rear?

Yes, I think I may need that for slight toe in, and I believe the stock setting specifies it too.
Thanks for the input!
