Is that where the slot is? (red arrow)
The camber on mine is way out. I have taken the wheel off to see if there was a slot there but the head of the bolt covers the hole so cant tell or not.
Sorry for the thread hi-jack

Are you using a camber guage to set them up or are you just guessing? Get it done properly ffs or you will be forever on here asking why you have shit handling, worn tyres etc.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Every place I take the car tells me the camber can not be adjusted. I want to no 100% how to adjust it so I can tell them when I take the car. Or if I need to buy anything before I take it.
Ofcourse im going to get it set up properly! Just finding it hard on how to set them up as its 50/50 if it can be done or not

There are two types of hub carrier; one has an oval hole. For this one, you want coilovers with a round top hole and a set of camber bolts.
The other has a round hole. For this, you get coilovers with a slotted top hole.
