arc tan .0486 = 2.78 degrees

Don't need no iphone...gotta a watkins pro digital camber gauge. But I've changed the ride height an inch since those measurements, so it would be a little bit apples and oranges. My coilover supplier is sending me some new pieces, so I'll double check everything again when it comes off my lift. BTW, I just ordered your cambolts...thanx for the tip.
I'm just saying, _most_ people are getting 1.8-2.0 with just the top bolt flipped. If you're getting an extra degree, then either your car has something bent, was built sloppily or is a freak. All of which are valid options .

That seems like a great way to get more camber!
I did, but then I removed them when I got new brackets on my coilovers... so now I'm up to > -4.5* of camber.

Evo_Someday has them in his VIII and he's getting ~3*
