So my car is lowered and the camber is pretty bad now,

my front passenger wheel is rubbing on the suspensions, im separating it a bit (still touching but only clunking noises when i turn to the right)with some washers for now, haven't been driven like this yet.

But i was wondering would eccentric bolts work to fix the camber? or should i get a whole camber kit because i found eccentric bolts for 40$ from pdm. thinking of ordering those soon. If they will be enough to fix the problem

Thanks

Depends on how bad the camber is off.The bolts i have on my car only change the camber by about 1 degree.

The car is drivable right now tho, im going to just buy them and try it out then maybe add some spacers. i tried searching and most threads i found only talk about negative camber, do these bolts offer positive camber as well?

Thanks

Camber bolts are only $20 on ebay. They should give you enough adjustment to get the wheel off the strut. If you buy two sets and use them in the upper and lower holes you should get plenty of adjustment.
