Camber adjustment on coilovers?

Camber adjustment on the top of the coilover, often called camber plates, is for strut design suspensions. We have double wishbone front and multilink rear, not struts.

Your absolutely right it does say for strut type front suspensions my bad. Wishful thinking I guess.

So to clarify if we are looking to go lower we will require camber arms in order to adjust camber for the front. Is it because there is no adjustability stock, not even by a half a degree? I'm simply looking to adjust the camber to about -2.5 in the front after dropping it maybe 1.5".

For the rear will I get by with camber bolts? I am only looking to lower the suspension maybe an inch?

Also at what point do you think I will need toe bolts?

I'm just curious about how much adjustability there is stock; Also for anyone who has experience, how bad did lowering your car affect your suspension settings?

From what you said you'll need everything! Bolts, arms, etc.

I will find out on Tuesday how bad a 1.5 in drop affected the front camber. My iPhone says it's neg 2 but take that with a grain of salt. My rear right now is neg 3 but I have spl rear camber and toe arms so that will be adjusted accordingly. Probably by June I will have the spl front arms but I track and do autox so that's why I am going this route. I would rather be safe than sorry and pay up the a$$ on towing the car home.
