Camber bolts?
I'm trying to figure out how to implement a bit of camber with my TC struts with YYZ springs. I am doing this in hopes of improving corner grip but more than anything to try and keep from eating up the outside edge of my tires while autocrossing. I have done a bit of research and it appears I can get the desired camber with the installation of camber bolts and it seams people have had luck with them in the past. Here is the specific bolts I am looking at.
Any of you have any experience with these or what are your thoughts?

Do you have coilovers with adjustable plates? I'd imagine that would be enough. But for these wouldn't these go into the strut where it meets the knuckle? I don't see why these wouldn't work. You'd need an alignment machine to get your true answer tho. Adjusting camber isn't easy by eye.

I had them on my coilovers back in the day and coil overs have lots of adjustments on it or you can upgrade your shocks to koni yellow and cut slots in top bolt mount of strut where your steering knuckle is and get camber out of that but I don't recommend it cause I've never done it before

Yes koni's do use stock housing and those bolts have a offset to then spin one way positive spin other way negative. You get what camber you want and set the nut on bolt and it won't move if you just slot the housing you can use stock bolt and just pivot steering knuckle

I put camber bolts in my car probably 4 years ago and set it to -2.0. Adjuster bolt goes in the top, just addhear to the torq spec of the bolts. I forget what it is. I did almost a full year of autocross on them too.

No need for the bolts. Any competent shop can align it if you just slot the upper hole in the strut a bit both ways. Once they're slotted wider all the shop has to do is pull/push wheel to where you want it set and torque the bolts down.
