Just sharing my results here for future reference. Suspension on front end of car is completely stock, including springs / ride height.

Adding SPC camber bolts with the max camber setting from Tire Rack gave me the following results: -1.7 and -1.8deg, matching the claim from SPC for -1.75deg camber.

It sounds like you doubted their claim? I would have dialed in a bit more on the left, or less on the right to balance out your seat weight.

@TalonTsi90 Heh I wasn't douting them. I'm an engineer - trust but verify. Results are shared just for reference. Your mileage (or camber) may vary hahaha.

I have them about equal because of the counterclockwise tracks of Laguna Seca and Thunderhill which I frequent most.

Advice .. please don't use Camber Bolts for front camber adjustment, its a cheap and nasty way of adjustment ... better option is to use top mounted camber plate or another great option to use SuperPro (Australia) eccentric control arm poly bushes which give you camber adjustment at your control arms.

You cant with struts... and you sound like you should know that.

I'm confused with your post, Talon. I don't know if a commercially available MacPherson strut adjustable camber (and possibly caster) plate is available for the 6 per se, but such a cpt would affect camber usually, and some can do caster, too, I believe. Also I have seen SPC cpts that do this too, with some mods to the tower.

You cant, the springs are too large diameter wise. Just look at the two, you can see it yourself. The only way to incorporate a pillow ball mount is with coilovers, or like the airbag setup @93blkongreenpro has which are built off coilover design.

Ah, I see. Thx...

It involves “slotting” your top strut mounting bolts and then removing a matching circular portion of the strut tower.
You can adjust camber without the camber plate option by “slotting” the strut tower mounting holes and using retainer tabs to hold the adjustment in position.

 

[TalonTsi90]

Yea, im not fucking with the structure of the car like that...

 

[Cdn17Sport6MT]

I think that slight slotting of the holes, while permanent in nature, is of little consequence to the structure of the car. It's not for me, but I don't think it's that drastic. You could have tabs that cater for the more negative camber, and different tabs that bring the chamber back to stock.

Maybe we can see what the OP had in mind by way of a representative picture?

Would the strut tower still contain the now-moved MacStrut, or would the strut assembly foul it?

Most pillow mounts have more than 1" of movement, so cutting that much out of a strut tower, X3 would cause issues. And no, theres not that much room in those towers to move the strut even 1/2".
