Lets talk camber - How much camber are you running?

I am hoping to dial in more neg camber up front (currently at -1.5*) before next season. That, along w/ the 15x8 I plan to run should minimize my fender rub. I have camber bolts in the top slots of my Bilstein shocks.

Anyone able to get ~-2.5* neg camber w/ just camber bolts? Whats the trick - bolt on the bottom shock mount hole and crash bolt up top?

Yep, used the Whiteline camber bolts with my Konis and the alignment sheet says 2.5. I had the alignment shop install them, so I don't know if they had to do anything special.

are your camber bolts installed in the top or bottom shock mount hole?

Currently running OE specs but have a set of DNA Camber Plates going on this week. Going to dial in around -2.5 and see how the shoulders wear. That was my biggest issue so far is overheating the outer edge of the tire due to limited camber.

I also have the Dpro rear camber plates which i will add at a later date.

I am running -2.7 up front from a combination of Whiteline bolts and slotted strut mounts. The bolts can't get you much past -1.9 alone. I slotted +4mm to get the extra -.7 degree. Wear on the inner edge of my street tires is noticeable for sure.

I run -1.8 in the back with the DNA racing camber plates.

Sounds similar to my situation - most I can get out of the bolts is -1.7/-1.8 or so.

My fortune 500s that are going on in the spring have camber plates so I will look to dial in probably -2.5* or so.

Lots!
This was camber bolts + slotted holes pushed all the way on the FA 500s+ everything I could dial in up top with the standard holes in the strut tower.

edit: also depro rear camber plates
