I wonder if that's a normal problem on the S197s or something particular to a production batch. I've never had this happen ever before with any other car I've ever owned. It seems like a camber problem.

From what I've read all the S197's wear inside fronts. I think it's set that way from the factory for handling.

I used the FRPP M-1500-K 1 1/2" drop. Allignment was no problem. After 17k miles tires look great.

I installed the BMR Camber bolts last night. I installed them into the top bolt hole on the lower part of the strut. I installed the bolt with the bulge facing the car and the washer with the flange tab facing the tire.

I wanted to confirm this was right as I have seen people and instructions say to use the lower bolt hole? Was I supposed to do anything else besides slide the bolt in and tighten down?
