I think I used stock bolts. Depends how much you shim it out. You don't want to strip, break off, be too long of a bolt and not lock, be to short of a bolt and not lock, to weak of a bolt and break, wrong threads. Just watch those little things.

yeah it depends how much your goin to shim it out. if you need to shim it out alot get a longer bolt but make sure it has the same thread as the old bolt and also make sure not to torque it down to hard or else you will snap the bolt.

I don't know why some of you guys think you want 0 degrees of camber all the way around.

Unless you're dumped in the weeds, you'll have no more than 1-1.5 degrees which is perfectly acceptable and won't produce weird tire wear if your toe is set to 0 or close to it.

Or... hell, do it the right way and buy the $100 camber adjuster. Yeesh.
