All the threads I’ve read seem to indicate the bolts can be a pain in the butt to install sometimes due to the holes not wanting to align when the rest of the suspension components are together. I’m trying to avoid causing the alignment shop a headache.
Woops sorry that response was actually to XMetal asking if you had camber plates or not.

I have been able to put them in in the past with the suspension on the car. It can be a bit hard to line up the bolts... suspension needs to be unloaded and you just need to loosen the upper knuckle to strut bolt and that gives you the play you need to line everything up.

I am at this point now...I run the 275s up front too but with the new MCS coilovers I can't get the car to the height/camber I want. So I am going to try a 10mm spacer and the camber bolts.
