Default Camber adjustment kit/bolts

Does anyone make camber adjusters for f-bodys? I never hear anyone speak of them. I'm sure it's required on lowered cars. I just got my G2 kit and I want to get it on.

Strano performance. He just stopped stocking them-unless he gets an order of at least 5.

There's usually enough adjustment in the lower control arm slots (in the front, I assume you mean) to accomodate a 1.5-1.7" drop, and still get the camber close to the "0"-(-).5 degree range. If you run out of travel, you can carefully elongate the slots another 1/8-3/16" with a Dremel tool and cutting tool or an air powered die grinder, if you have access to one.

I will make another run of offset bushings if I get enough orders. I need 5, I have 2 and I think a 3rd pending....

If these will work with the G2 kit then I'm in... so that's 3 and a 4th pending.

Are these a preset degree of change or adjustable? How much for a set?
(I checked the website but didnt see anything about them)

These are upper control arm bushings, not camber bolts (they only work on struts cars, 4th gens use shocks on the front).

You put these in the upper arms, they offset the arm either more outward (less negative, more positive camber), or inward (more negative, less positive camber) depending on which direction you install them.

So, as long as you have stock GM arms, they work.

They are $127.20/set. One set does both sides.

You still have your stock camber/caster adjustment in place. These just allow the range of alignment to change. Let's say you lowered the car, can't get less than -1.2 camber, but you want to me be more like stock---say, -.5 degrees but you can't get there because you have used all the adjustment up already trying to get there. You put these in and the range changes more toward the positive then you use your stock adjustment on bottom to dial it in.
