anyone know how to install camber bolts?

anyone know how to install the eibach camber bolts? I got them off of www.tirerack.com and i'm getting my suspension installed on Sunday. If anyone can give me step-by-step instructions, that'd be great. Thank You.

no available instruction on line for installing camber bolt. refer to chilton's manual and common sense.

The Eibach kit comes with instruction. Basically, the washer with the long tab has a protruding notch.
1/ You replace the existing upper bolt with the Eibach bolt. Make sure the washer is at the bolt head, the protruding notch is toward the strut, and the long tab toward the wheel for positive camber (this is for people who drop the car).
2/ Make sure the washer sit flush against the strut.
3/ Tighten the nut just enough so it is snug, but not too tight so you can still turn the bolt to adjust camber.
4/ Loosen the lower bolt.
5/ Put the wheel on and adjust camber by turning the Eibach bolt.
6/ Take wheel off and tighten everything. Note: Do not over torque the Eibach bolt. It is much weaker then the stock bolt.

Is there a way you can find out the size of the bolt, and maybe we can use a stronger bolt. for reassurance.

Dont you have to get camber bolts to match the drop of your springs? Like the Eibach bolts will not work because Im getting the tein s. techs right? So what kind of camber bolts do I need for those springs and where can I get them from?

Eibach bolts come in different types. I guess it depends on how much camber adjustment you need. Mine (Tirerack) is +/- 1 degree and it is rated for 77 ft-lb. Much less than the stock bolt (at least 120ft-lb).

so will they work with tein s tech springs? I just got my suspension installed today and I'm happy with it. I think I'm just gonna have the guy who does my wheel alignment install the camber bolts too.
