Installing second front camber bolt for more adjustment

Wanting more camber adjustment in the front than just the stock camber bolts.
Has anybody installed a second set of camber bolts in the lower hole in the front struts?
What kits are available out there? Whiteline doesn't have a kit listed...although I think it'll be their 14mm camber bolts.
Will I need to elongate that bottom hole or can I get away without doing so?

Thinking of camber bolts because they're like 5x cheaper than camber tops.

Cheers

If I get coilovers, this whole thread could be disregarded. But for now, it's going to be a cheap set of camber bolts.
Waiting for a set of secondhand coilovers to pop up because I'm a little cheap for a new set. And rego and insurance is coming up start of next month :(

Cheers, just checked out the Eibach kit. Much cheaper than anything I've searched for at $55 posted.

It replaces the original camber bolts with an extra +/- 0.5 deg....I want more though, I think that's only achievable by putting a camber bolt in the bottom hole.

H&R Triple C (part number is "TC114") http://www.hrsprings.com/products/triple-c/ are as close to an O.E style as you'll get - i.e, none of this shitty little tab to lock in/break.
Oh, and you can get upto +/- 3.0.
Put them in the lower hole, set them to max camber, then use the stock bolt to dial it in.

I have the Eibach camber bolt in the bottom hole and the OE camber bolt in the top hole and my aligner is able to get more then -2deg on each side.

Don't know the price, but the H&R Triple C looks like a good kit, after 6yrs of using the Eibach Camber kit, 1 of the locking tabs recently broke.
