Coilover Camber Adjustment

[momo]

Quick question, i have BC coilovers with adjustable front camber plates

Problem is, i never adjusted the front camber before i installed my coils

So...is there a way to get proper access to the camber plates without having to remove the coils....just to adjust camber

Our cars have the strut tops hidden, do i have to take the windshield cowl out?

If there are graduations marked on the top of the plate they are just "guidelines" and a stamped 1 degree mark may not actually be 1 degree at the wheel. You will need to expose the bolts at the top to be able to adjust it. I would highly recommend taking it to a shop and having them do the alignment so that you have the settings you want. This page shows what you need to adjust. It does not appear to me in these pics that there are markings but I think its just a generic BC coil. Yours could be slightly different.

You shouldn't have to remove the coil completely if you can access the bolts with the cowl out of the way. If not, then you may have to purchase a set of camber bolts and adjust the camber at the lower strut mounting point. Camber bolts are very inexpensive though.

Are there any torque specs for the camber bolts ?
