In my recent experience the camber bolts made next to no difference...  not a good option in my opinion...


Are you installing them correctly?  Don't get me wrong - I'm not attacking you - but my first time out with camber bolts, I had exactly that experience, and the problem was how I was installing them - I was using Engalls fastcams which look like this ...



I put the washer right where I always put it - under the nut - instead of where it needs to be under the bolt head.

Correctly installed a set of Engalls (two bolts, one for each side) will typically give +/-2 degrees of camber change (that's a total of 4 degrees) and you can run two sets (four bolts, two per side) for +/-4 degrees (total of 8 degrees).  If you can't get the alignment back in with 8 degrees of variance, I'd say that's a lot of lift.


WHAT SIZE??
Does anyone know what size bolts we use, i see 12mm, 14mm, 16mm and so on... What does the Suzuki use?

Vitara & Grand Vitara up to '05 take 12mm - I have no idea on the 06 & later - if you need to verify just remove one of the existing strut bolts & measure the diameter.

The cam bolt size is the diameter of the "cam" portion - the threaded portion is smaller.

You can unbolt the upper strut and get it done, maybe cussing, it is a PITA.
