H&R spring and camber bolts

I will be installing H&R springs over the winter since my car is parked until the spring.  I have read that some people need camber bolts and some do not.  I was just curious if my 13' would need them or not.  Also I was thinking of getting some H&R wheel offsets.  Anyone have any recommendations?  Also do I need to get lug bolt extensions?  Thanks for the feedback in advance.

I called h&r this week and they told me they do not make h&r wheel spacers for our car.  I to wanted to run wheel spacers.
 
There is no guarantee that you will or won't need cam bolts. I didn't need them, and think most guys didn't need them either.

It sounds like it could be a function of how knowledgeable the alignment person is working on your car.

Interesting, I'm pretty sure there are guys on here that have H&R wheel spacers.

I am only aware of one person that has them. And just replacement my original tires with 48k no uneven wear. My alignment guy knew exactly what he was doing, he did express it was a pain in the ass however.

Yeah I could have sworn I read about someone having them but when I called they stated they do not making any for the 2010+ SHO.

If you need wheel spacers go here http://www.motorsport-tech.com/ I had 1cm spacers made and shipped within a week ....the only issue I had was they didn't have the correct hub centric size on file.

Are you running extended lugs? Id like to run 30mm spacers in the rear and 20mm up front.

Never mind I found the spacers posted below on that website I think ill order a set of 25mm for the rear and maybe 15-20mm for the front.

No I did not get the extended lugs as they didn't offer them ... My lugs seem to hold fine though, I have checked them numerous times after install
 
my '14 PP needed 3 out of 4 corners to have the camber bolts installed.. the rear wheels were way out of spec and starting to wear the inner rear tires after only 1500 km.. not a hard job to install them but pain in the buttocks to hold everything and get it into spec on the alignment machine.
 
Any pics of the location where the camber bolts go? Excuse the novice question, but is there a place for them from factory, or one has to make it for the those bolts?
 
Thank you for the link. I may have to buy these as I'm doing the install in spring. I see these bolts go for 24.99 on eBay, anyone knows a cheaper place? And just to confirm, do we need 4 bolts, 2 for the rear as well?
 
I'm doing the install over the next few weeks.  Personally I'm only going to buy one pair and install on the rear.  That seems to be the most likely area getting alignment back into specs.  Just my two cents.

i think it depends on the car.. again.. I order 2 kits then took the car in to get aligned.. we had to use one bolt on the front right strut to get it within spec.. better to have to kits handy I think for the few extra bucks it costs for the bolts.
 
Are these the camber bolts I want?

Part # is right, but they look different than the pics of installs I've looked at. Also looks like the price went up? $46.37 now?
