Yes I guess so.

[robz]

Right, so if I do it I'll get some decent bolts from an appropriate trader, did the same for my arb bolts lol
Cheers for the advice though mate, don't want another wheel coming off lol
First time was bad enough!!

Stronger bolts will help but you still stressing things more than normal.

[robz]

Fair enough!!
These ez shims are 25 quid roughly so may try the washers and then if I'm happy With the result Buy the shims!

this could be handy for me too as when i put the wheels on in the week im not sure how the camber is going to be. if i can adjust it for a few days should be ok!

[robz]

I wanna get out there and do it now lol

[Dmonday]

Can't be that much stress, i drive my car quite hard and never had an issue even when i had a pretty stupid amount of camber! I know a lot of people who use this method & a sh!t load use it over on edition but i'm not suggesting you do this as i don't want to be responsible if you crash and burn to death stronger / longer bolts would be better but i couldn't be arsed with that so i'm running the standard bolts

lol!!
im up for trying it!
i just NEED camber now!
what thickness washer did ya use?

A 1mm washer on the bottom right bolt gives -4 degrees of camber which is perfect for most.

Or you could do what the ONI camber guys in japan do and chuck a scaffolding pole in above the bolts for -45 degrees.
