There are camber bolts available, that are used in the top strut-to-spindle bolt hole. The most gain in negative camber I've seen from the bolts is 1.5* (I'm sure you could find a set with more) . If you need more negative camber, use another bolt in the lower bolt hole, for a total of -3*. you might also look into adding some positive camber to the left front also.

If you need more info on determining how much camber you need, let me know, I'll write up a brief explanation.

Eibach Camber Kit(+/- 1.75*), available through TTR. You can get -3.5* on the right front, If you use both bolts on the right side. Get a second kit to add a little positive camber on the left front.

If you Search the web, you can find Ingall's Engineering. They make adjustable and fixed shims for adjusting camber and toe on the rear axle, for better control of the rear beam axle. The shims fit between the bearing and the axle beam assembly. Summit Racing can get them, but you need to know the part number, it would be a special order item and will usually take a couple weeks to get them in.

I race on a 7/8 mile ashphalt round track in Michihgan. I am just now building my car for next year and trying to decide how to solve my camber issue. I am changing from a 1995 Ford Escort to a 1996 Pontiac Sunfire GT. I am looking for about 4 degrees of camber in the front end. I have seen these camber kits as they are called. It appears they are mainly used when you lower the car. Do you know of anyone who has used two of them on each side to get more than 1.75 degrees of camber and does it really work. I was also considering going to a frame and allignment shop to have my front strut shafts bent to work some camber into the front. What is the best way to lower the car? Using different springs or coilover kits?

in any lowering situation with these cars, new shocks and struts MUST be used. the stockers dont take to drops at all.
