Default camber adjuster bolts

i have negative camber on the front on my classic impreza after fitting lowered suspension kit causing inner tyre wear, so i had new ball joints fitted and tracking done and new tyres went on to pass the MOT and it passed but i can still see the negative camber so guna check the camber bolts are set to maximum but i wanted to know aswell as the adjustable top bolts i already have can i buy another 2 camber adjustable bolts for the bottom fixing holes or can you only adjust the top fixing???

You're better off adjusting the top mounts. I'd recommend getting a full alignment done to get it how you want it (standard, fast road, race etc).

but the top mount camber adjusters are very expensive on ebay £300 im not paying that, the bolts are only £20. im guna check the bolts already on there to see if they can be adjusted but yeah was thinking of getting a lazer wheel alingment done its only the front that does it the suspension isnt even that low id say about a 40mm drop so maybe the bolts will be enough plus now i have new ball joints and tracking was done maybe will be ok now. i asked a seller on ebay about the adjustable bolts and he said you can only adjust the top bolts so lets hope it enough to correct it, thanks anyway.

My bad, I thought you had adjustable top mounts already.

I guess it's possible to do it with the bottom bolt too. Otherwise you could always use the old school method - Elongate the top hole (where the camber bolt sits now) to give it more play.
