Just to square up the facts:

 

My bolts are the same diameter as factory. They use a D shape rather than the slot/tang that the factory uses to rotate the washer. They do use a 18mm wrench instead of the oem's 14 or 17mm wrench.

 

They are not "crash bolts". Crash bolts are a smaller diameter bolt shaft that allows for more adjustment than factory adjusters. Sometimes providing adjustment where there was none from the factroy

 

My bolts do NOT increase camber. The limiting factor, on any of the adjustments, is the slot in the subframe. Not the bolt or the washer. They make it easier to get max adjustment. this is because they provide more "lift" than the oem ones. Mine actually bottom out the bolt in the slot. Which the factory ones do not. But you can do this with a prybar and the oem washers. 

 

If your car had a max of 2.7* camber with oem bolts, you will get a max of 2.7* with my bolts. they are just a better quality design than the oem ones.

 

I hope this ends the debate.

We haven't had a debate about valve stems yet.  Maybe that's next?  

 

 

How about non compliant Mazda decals?

[chris haldeman]

Keith, I recieved a letter from Mazda a few years back stating my two-tone Mazda stickers were non compliant and that no contingency would be paid till the stickers were fixed

That sucks, I had to give up two Hoosiers because i forgot to cover my NASA- Toyo  stickers a few years back.

Remember that compliance on the stickers is for the contingency only. It has nothing to do with the tech shed compliance.
