Finally! i have been waiting for this right up, i can finally fix my ugly rear camber. Livernois is also selling this product with their lowering springs i'm assuming it is the same bolt/nut. I believe they said you can order it from them for 39.99.  :bravo: :bravo:

"Finally" ????

I authored this "How-To" back in like 2011, and it was transferred over the year after to this community here.

I also had a friend of mine who worked in the R&D division of H&R that was instrumental in developing these based on my own direct experiences as outlined in the write up.

I was one of the 1st for the platform to lower their SHO's using the H&R's & had a bear of a time trying to reacquire OEM alignment specs.

LMS I believe is rebranding, or selling these through their company now, as a part of their product offerings.

Although I no longer am rocking the H&R's, & have since upgraded to the Megan Coil Overs, i still have my adjustable cam bolts in place.

Never have been an issue since their install, and I have many miles on them, daily driven, track abuse, etc.

It's still cool seeing people benefitting from this, and many others mods and "How-To's" I pioneered / authored.

Enjoy those SHO's everyone!

Has anyone used the 81280 bolt alignment kit on the front with success? 2014 SHO here. Also, how bad of a wear do you guys see on the H&R lowered springs in the front that did not adjust the camber with this 81280 bolt kit (miles on tires,concerning inside wear of tire)?

Very curious about this, too. I already have wear on my 22's, but I would love to get the alignment back in spec by the time I replace tires.

hmm, i have a feeling I may see the same issue on the CD4 once the coils are on, got the endlinks, now I am wondering if I should get the cam bolts from whiteline as well.

Just researching this in case I purchase springs.  Curious...On the SPCAlignment Site I see a different part number than the one reference earlier in this thread for the '10+ Taurus.  Maybe they now make a model specific bolt for our application?

Anyone know which to go with on these two part numbers?  I'd really like to try the Ford SPC (84130) type if they work, but I know the 81280's fit except that they're barely long enough.  It'd be nice to have a bolt long enough to get past those first 4-5 threads...  wondering if the 84130's will be better or worse - anyone tried them yet?  I'm putting on new wheels and tires Friday, taking her to get aligned Saturday - I was going to order my camber bolts today, but debating which to go with... probably will just order both and see which works best and return the others, but thought I'd ask here first to see if anyone had experience with these others.  Thx!

Were you able to get to spec with the coilovers and these bolts?

FoMoCoSHO

So it appears there is no adjustment for the fronts on the 13+ application?

Is that because they're not needed?

bpd1151

Not entirely sure about the 13+'s as it pertains to the fronts, but on the 10's through 12's..... no, it's not needed as you say.

Was there ever an answer/response on these new bolts?  Has anyone tried them?  The 84130 is listed as rear, is nothing at all needed up front or do people use the 81280 in front and 84130 in rear?
