Front Camber -1.0
Front Toe 0.00
Rear Camber shoot for -0.50 or less is possible.
Rear Toe IN 0.10
Total Rear Toe IN 0.20

You'll have a better on center feel to the steering with excellent tire wear front and rear.

It is a 10mm 1.5 pitch screw / bolt.

Loosen both clevis bolts. Use and extension on your socket wrench to reach through the wheel spokes with the alignment heads mounted. Turn it to the right and you decrease camber. Turn it to the left to increase camber. Get it exactly where you want it and tighten the clevis bolts.

It is all in the THE Book on 5th Gen Suspension right here on Camaro5.

What is the length of this bolt?
