Do your self a favor and get the Pedders rear camber bolts which means you also will get the Pedders rear toe bolts as they only sell them in a set. The factory rear camber bolts 99% of the time will not allow you to get to .5 negative rear camber once you lower the car. For street and road course use and to neutralize a good portion of the negative camber you are left with when installing drop springs/coilovers shoot for negative .5 degree rear camber on each side, negative .8 to 1 degree camber in the front and positive ( toe in ) .05 degree toe on each of all 4 wheels. You'll retain good tire wear and have a better handling car. Too much rear negative camber causes the car to under steer and is a contributor to rear wheel hop under acceleration. I've spent a lot of time ( and $$ ) finding a happy medium between tire wear and handling for everyday driving and an occasional autocross or road course. For drag strip use, the closer you get to 0 camber in the rear the better but 0 camber in the rear isn't a practical setting if the car is driven as a daily driver. .4 to .5 negative in the rear works well.
