camber plate bolts...

[babowc]

I was wondering, can you use just two of the four bolts on a camber plate?..

see how there are four bolts on one plate, but i've ridden of two to get maximum camber at the plates...
is this safe?

[J Squared]

I wouldnt call it unsafe, at least until something bad happened :D

Maybe just notch the plate a little more?

i'd have to notch the shock towers.. which i didn't wanna do, heh.

ill go see how much camber i can get from the spindle mounts.

[ThatS13Guy]

just move the two inner ones(highlighted in yellow) to the holes(highlighted in blue) and you will be able to get more camber without notching your strut tower....thats what me and flip did on our megans

only 2 bolts per side..

With only two bolts in there is a chance they wont hold and the plate will slip to one side or the other.

Usually good coilovers have multiple holes to move your bolts around to eliminate this problem.

:( my pbm's don't have multiple holes.

but i can probably drill and tap if i really wanted ot..

[240sxautox]

might as well drill a hole just to play it safe, just make sure to give it ample space between the bolts so that the heads of the bolts wont touch when you tighten them both down.

also you could put lock washers on them to help keep it from slipping or comming loose over time.
