Which aftermarket camber bolts to buy? - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

sohcsol · 06-11-2011, 05:09 PM

I have been shopping around but have not found any camber bolts listed for the CRZ, although I am sure they must be the same as some of the other Honda models that are out there. Does anyone know which ones they are compatible with?

I do not want the OEM camber bolts that are just a smaller diameter, I am only interested in the types available from Ingalls or something similar.

Also, does it matter the orientation in which they are installed thru the strut, like if the bolt head faces the front or rear of the car?

Thanks!

good questions. I havent gotten this far yet but I'd like to know also.

As far as I know the ones for the FIT work for the CR-Z also so that means that Eibach has a set. I dont know if anyone is using the Eibach ones though.

Yep, the ones for the Fit will work. That's what I'm running on my car. Picked up a set off ebay.

The way the bolt is installed DOES matter afaik. Every instruction i've ever seen for their install states to install them exactly as they came out.

Great info, thanks!

Do you happen to know which direction they are originally? I have a growing fear that I may have re-installed my oem bolts backwards when I did my spring install

^ if you take a look at the DIY Springs / Coilover install thread by GoTuning you should be able to see the bolts.

Good thinking, I still have that DIY on my favorites lol. Checked it out and it is pretty clear that the bolt head faces the front of the car. I will be checking mine tonight to make sure, although I don't think it would matter as much with the OEM bolts I still want to correct them.

I am going to go ahead and order these today

Just curious, are you only running one or two bolts per side? And if only one, did you install it in the upper or lower position?

Thanks again!

Yeah, the heads of the bolts should be facing the front of the car. I'm running two pairs of bolts so that i could get the max camber available if necessary.

the ad for the bolts that hotboxn put up says to replace the top bolt. I assume if youre only running one bolt ber side that you want to replace the top one.

hotboxn, do you have any idea how much camber you can get with one bolt vs two per side?
