Camber bolt recommendations?

[Charley Darwin]

Which camber bolts do you recommend?
What torque specs do you use?

Thanks in advance!

Any of the camber bolt kits out there listed for the Mazda 2 will work. We sell the H&R kits due to the design of them and they work well. Follow the torque specs for the kit you purchase.

+1 Got my camber bolts from CorkSport forever ago they are great!

 

[Charley Darwin]

Thanks for the suggestion. Is the design of the H&R superior to that of Eibach, SPC, Ingalls, etc.?

 

[CorkSport]

The Ingalls, SPC, and Eibach are all of the same manufacturer from what have seen.

H&Rs

The H&R's seem beefy enough however the lack of a locking tab though means you will have to push the spindle in the direction you want the setting while you tighten it down, although I do not have experience with other camber bolts, they may all be like this. H&R's claim of +3/-3 though... On our cars, I don't think so.

In search for more camber I bought 2 sets of SPC's. Half the price of the H&R's and free shipping. (dangit Hawaii)

I'll post my review of them when I get time to put them on. Hopefully that's soon...

Been busy the last few weeks, but i finally got a chance to play around with the car.
+ The SPC's are nice in the fact that the alignment washer aids in keeping the bolt wedged in the hole. Have to push on the knuckle as you tighten down on the H&R's if you want consistant camber on each side.
+ The lobe direction is clearly marked on the adjustment bolt
+ Considerably cheaper
- I spun away the teeth on one of the washers already so it wants to spin with the bolt.
- Why are the nut and bolt different sizes?! 15mm and 14mm.

Instructions say to use 65 ft/lbs. Part number is 81250.

Garage alignments can be a pain! Jack car up. Pull off wheels. Adjust bolts. Adjust other side using guesswork to match. Put back on wheels. Lower car and roll back and forth a few times. Measure. Rinse and Repeat until desired camber is attained. Then.. check and adjust toe. Ugh!

Might have to get myself a pair of these for Christmas

Hey guys just reviving a old thread. Will these fit a 2013 Mazda 2. I don't think there is any difference between the years in terms of suspension design but thought would make sure.

I used the Eibach bolts with my HR springs and it all came back to spec easily.

Yep. Those are the ones.

All are made by SPC, as arethe AC Delco branded ones.

Just be sure and torque them correctly. A little bit more than spec is too much. Go right to the spec in th instructions or you'll pull the threads off of them. If you want max camber, just get a pair of 10mm 3/8 bolts in 10.9 or 12.3 if you can find them. Slid the strut all the way to max camber and torque to 55ft/lbs. just as good as the camber bolts if you are maxing them out. There is a little wiggle room to get them even..

Yep. Those are the ones.

There are double offset ones available also. Those are also good, but slip a lot.

 

[Spinitsidewayz]

I would have never thought of using a 10mm bolt. How are these with slippage? I may have to try that next autocross. Then just swap in the stock 12mm for the street. And re-zero the toe of course.
