ps LS's are the opposite sides

Very interesting, care to do a how-to?

I think he's saying a bigger cam bolt hole and that would allow for full adjustment of the camber.

I don't know how you'd go about doing that w/o taking your whole rear suspension off or something.

umm... i c what you mean by bigger hole. but with that hole, yes you can fix the camber definitely, but how do you prevent the bolt from sliding around that new "hole"? it's a 3600lb car riding on uneven road

ah.......good question. i got a good answer for you. i had some alum spacers (bolt type) made to add between the bolt and the other side of the hole. i forgot to add that in. i have been riding it like this for about a year now. i have no signs of inside wear. well i do, but very little. you can even tell, only if you look at it closely.

so you are saying that you have bigger hole with nothing on it, but after a yr the bolt is still at the same position? that would be something interesting
