Herro again.

I have BC coilovers on me GD3 jazz,

in theory i should be able to buy some camber bolts to suit a jazz and it will fit my BC coilovers on the front so i can adjust the camber?

my real question is, aslong as the bolt is designed for the jazz it should fit any coilover set right? or wrong?

i havent seen a set of BC racing camber bolts, so im just wandering. plus i have +ve camber at the front, and want to make it a -'ve

You're car is lowered on the BC's right? How did you end up with positive camber? Camber bolts will work, but get the install checked on the coilovers by a professional like WA Suspensions

it was installed by pedders. but i will try WA suspensions a buzz. cos it is pretty wierd. its only very slight. the wheels look very perpendicular to the road but if you look carefully its just slightly leaning out at top

If its daily I wouldn't be running to much - camber because you will end up with new tyres every 5000km instead of 40000. Skunk2 make adjustable camber arms, not sure how compatible they would be with bc though, best to take it into WA sussy like senna said, they'll be able to sus out the situation: camber bolts/arms should be your solution, unless your wheels are extremely unaligned and/or your sussy is deformed.

... currently my BCs dont have camber bolts....
they are using (im presuming) the ones that came with the original honda struts.

i just wanna know if the camber bolts will fit with the BC's in theory if they re used the honda bolts then all camber bolts for the GD3 will have the same properties as the original Jazz bolts.
except they will offer camber adjustment to some extent as well.

i just need to know the answer to that question^^^^^^^^^^

@kyzz
everyone knows that lots of camber wears out the tyres, but as i have said i have a positive camber at the moment, so anything is better then that.
and the part about taking it to wa susspension has already been stated.

sorry if the msg seems harsh im trying not to lose my cool, as i thought there would be alot more replies to what seems like a simple question.

lets just alk about bolts, i dont have the cash to spend on camber arms.

Bolt should be fine for the coilovers.

Why don't you grab one and just see if there are any fitment issues?

Problem is not many people modify the Jazz mate.

And I have no idea how you ended up with positive camber with a lowered setup. Did they install it right?

You can use any bolt, but i'm not sure that you will need to change them - if you have lowered the car and pedders re-used the original ones with positive camber as a result, you should simply be able to take it to a specialist and get the alignment adjusted without the need for any additional parts

Well, there is either camber adjustment or something is bent - as we've mentioned above, take it to WA Sus to get it all checked out :thumbsup:

Let us know what you come up with too
