Those are the bolts I have and they make adjusting the camber soo much easier. Just spin them until the black part is as lined up to the rest of the bolt as it can be and slide them in. You turn the head of the bolt to adjust the camber.

I think the style of bolt that Patrick has actually lets you get a larger range of camber, but the bolts you have already should work fine.

I have something similar to what Patrick posted.  However instead of a washer on the end, it is one molded oblong piece with degree's marked in it. Which allows you to set the wheels with the same camber.  I believe i bought it at Lordco for around 30 bucks.  I have them installed on all my pre 88 Fiero's.

       As to how well that bump steer kit is going to work, it will be night and day, John you are going to love it.  Its the next best thing to installing an 88 Cradle in your car, and I'll bet with your fancy coil overs and really big tires, you should be even better off than any 88 on the road.   However please tell me that Blair has convinced you to go to the Lebaron brakes.  I am really scared for you.  At higher speeds, those stock Fiero rear brakes just are not going to give you the stopping power you will need to save RBS.  I know you like having an e-brake so Grand Am rear is out of the question, but look into the Lebaron swap.  I am sure Blair can tell you all the parts and cheaper ways of doing it.  Plus the larger brakes will look so Amazing behind you FAT wheels and tires.  Before you ask, yes you can go with Rear only Lebaron.  Mainly due to your really large rear tire.  There is no way you are going to lock it up even with the grand am on the rear before your fronts lock up, as you already have the equal to Grand Am front brakes.

Thanks Capt and Dawg for your suggestions going bigger brakes, that was always on my list, but you know I've been putting it off.
I love Willwood 13" or Corvette 12", but that's just a pipe dream , so lebaron it will probably be. Blair gave me the list of part for that.

FLASHBACK...

A couple mouths ago Clynt and Patrick helped me installing a larger brake booster for $50 from the wreckers.
Some fun shots of that swap, clynt showing me how it's done, then makes you do it









The brake booster did make a difference, it's a start for now.

Johnny Boy, when are you putting the new nose on? I wouldn't mind stopping in and helping out. With my camera.

No rush Capt, lots of room here, maybe if I'm out that way I'll drop it off in yard (dam fence is to high for me )

Romeo: it won't be for a while, got to shorten the front frame about 4" to 5" first

I am already liking what I hear, Johnny.

What are you changing with the steering? Quicker ratio? Power steering? Both?

Pfft, still good to see it maintained. Making sure you can still point RBS where you want is also a plus. =P

I have a box of poly's here for here for you, minus one bushing...
