Lets see.... I didn't install camber bolts and my camber was out of spec just curious what the odds were for that?
Wow if your camber was out of spec, you may want to look into that. GM gives us a lot of room to play with, that's why most of us don't require camber adjustment. Now Toe, so far everyone who I've heard from has needed adjustment, including myself. Are you talking about Camber or Toe?

Did you use Goldlines? If so then you are .0002% in other words you are only the second person I know of who needed camber adjusted after installing dropped springs. But If you didn't use Goldlines, then that changes everything...

Well, since you dusted it off.
After putting my SS on Pedders, I had it checked. Camber was OK but had to adjust the toe. Simply put. It was a small bit pigeon toed.

The KW's have me lower than Pedders, my camber is .10 and should be -1.8 to -0.3. Think I will order the cam bolts.

-1.8 to 0.3? Those numbers seem different that what I have.

Both mine had to have toe changes..one on GL..one on SL's.. and camber can be affected on how struts are installed..theres just a smidgen of play in the bolt holes so when installing the bottom strut bolts make sure you pull out at the top bolt(or push top of spindle in) before tightening or it will suck in and camber the tire top in..had a slight pull once and doing this cured it. The camber was noticable looking at it...
