I installed them on our 97 sedan and I think I gained maybe .5 degree, if that.

Costs less than $5 for the pair. I did try to get the same spec bolts and at AZ Nut & Bolt, but theirs had a small shoulder that wouldn't allow them to gain the neg camber.

The BMW bolts are identical save for the shoulder, they use the threads for the contact surface thus giving you 2 or 3 RCH's for the extra neg camber.

You COULD turn down your original bolts to get the shoulder to the same OD as the threads.

You will have to loosen the other 2 bolts before you tighten the camber bolts to make them work.

Takes maybe 20 minutes per side (including removing the tire).
