Default front camber bolts

Hi done a search but cant find an answer, I have a sti ra classic and replacing the suspension, while doing so adding camber bolts. On the front it already has camber bolts in the top with an elongated hole as standard. My question is does the whiteline camber bolt replace the standard camber bolt or does it replace the normal bolt in the other hole?

It replaces the stock bolt.
While you are at it put them in the rears too as the rear adjustment range with the stock parts is very restricted.

You will achieve a much better set-up with Whiteline camber bolts all round, and they are relativly cheap.

Yes, Whiteline camber bolts in place of the stock camber bolts.

For a 'mild' alignment spec (ie Prodrive) you might get away with the rears, just.
It is the rear that causes the probs as the technician sometimes can't dial enough neg camber into the hub to match the front.

He will do you a much better job if he has a good range of adjustability at his finger tips!

No, you MUST have the camber and all other angles the same on the front, both sides.
The rear can/will be different but must be the same both sides.

For info on angles to use (defined by the mods you have ) try Whiteline Automotive - performance handling and suspension products. car spring coil shock damper swaybar sway bar anti-sway bush bushes australia australian whiteline automotive performance road holding turn-in camber caster toe in vehicle hot 4 v8
Or, search for 'Fuzz' in Projects. He really knows a thing or two.
