FYI- For anyone looking for the rear Camber bolts,found a sweet deal. Z  :)
Specialty  Products Company 81280 EZ Cam XR 16mm Adjuster Bolt - Pair. Z

$21.98 - Pair

https://www.amazon.com/Specialty-Products-Company-81280-Adjuster/dp/B000CB3QUI?keywords=specialty+products+81280&qid=1535638576&sr=8-1-fkmrnull&ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmrnull_1


When I order these do I need just the one pair or should I order two ? One pair per side? I'm pulling the trigger on H&R springs in the upcoming week or two!

You can use the ones you posted, I did.  However, these are the revised ones right here that I will be replacing the 81280 with.

You will need to buy 2 of them, they do not come in pairs.
 
So question, not sure if it was covered in this thread or not (10 pages?). I have a 2013 nonPP and need to do a full setup (creaks and leaks). I was considering doing coilovers but think HR will be good enough as I want easy setup and not have to mess with adjusting stuff. I'm just concerned about using nonPP innards on the springs as I read in the first few pages it could be a wavy ride. So is it time to upgrade to PP? Can I do that?


1) Can you put PP shocks/struts/mounts on a nonPP car?
2) Is the original parts list still accurate?
3) Do you need a camber kit? (Is that what the bolts people are mentioning above?)


Sorry, just trying to get a clean answer before I make an order. I've been across 3 sites and have read multiple different answers, looking for a definitive.

1) Can you put PP shocks/struts/mounts on a nonPP car? I can't see why not.  The car will ride alot stiffer FYI.
2) Is the original parts list still accurate? Yes
3) Do you need a camber kit? (Is that what the bolts people are mentioning above?)  Use the bolts that I posted in my post. Directly above.

Thanks for the quick reply. This is what I had expected but just wanted some feedback. I'm good with it stiffening as I really want to tighten it up. After my motor swap(rebuild) and tune reload I have a major problem with the rear squatting and the front losing traction. Lots of slop in there that needs cleaned up.


Do you mind me asking what you paid after it was all said and done? I prepped the budget committee with the expense this past weekend of being around $1k after it was all said and done. Sure would be nice to come in below...

I didn't buy new struts and I did all of the labor myself (minus the spring swap on the struts themselves).

I documented my whole swap here:

https://shoforum.com/index.php?threads/couple-of-goals.138235/page-7
 
Polski had NO issues with his 13-NON-PP-SHO IIRC!
He swapped out his NON-PP Struts and Shocks components for the PP Version without incident. 
It's somewhere within the 10 pages.Lol. Z
 
Thank you both for the replies. I think I'm going to give it a whirl, doesn't look to be too bad. I don't have a Pepboys close enough to me and my local firestone won't touch any part they don't order. Not sure who I'll try for the front springs, guess I'll be calling around.


Total cost with some coupon codes are coming in around $650 range for all the parts, then add in the minor labor cost for fronts and alignment. Looking around $850 on the high side, which isn't that bad.

Thanks man!!I know many have gone without them but in my case the rear camber bolts were definitely warranted.  Z
Did these work? #81280 because spc website is giving me a different part number for my 2013. They are saying #84130. Which are a good bit more expensive.
