Here's the deal. Took my car to get aligned today, camber is off -.5 in the front on both sides. Can I get some camber bolts to fix this or do I need camber kits for each side?

I have some camber bolts for sale if your interested. Honestly, I don't know how worried I'd be about it being off unless your noticing tire wear. Email though if interested, they're new in the box.

-.5 is probably better for handling, and with them both the same there should be no pulling. I would leave it alone.

tire wear

Considering I have Z-rated tires wouldn't the inside of the tires wear fairly guick, with negative camber though.

Re: tire wear

Check the alignment specs for the car. My Stanza FSM (identical suspension) calls for -.5 - 1.0 degrees of camber. So -.5 is within spec. If you do a lot of hard cornering the negative camber will give better tire wear, because the contact patch is more even (that's why it give better handling).

Thanks, for your help.I didn't check to see if that was within spec. I was just told that camber should be as close to 0 as possible.
