Will these bolts work to sort out the camber?
If so what will i need to do to fit them?

Yeah.
You will need go a tracking place, to have the tracking set, and then the camber set.
You wont be able set them accurately yourself.

It's unlikely to be camber IMO, like Joe says, it's normally the tracking which rips tyres apart, not camber (we've both been/are tyre fitters  )

Yeah, tracking needs doing then, that's what's ripping the tyre inside out.

Thats camber.
It happens because lowered suspension alters the suspension geometry.
Tracking is how far in/out the front edge of the wheel points.

i cant see them actually trueing the camber back into how it should be. aren't they supposed to be fitted prior to lowering to stop it playing in the first place?

I've got Gaz coilovers on
I know about tracking that is out id agree which will have some cause why its gone also. Negative camber i think its called
They have said they wont get it bob on but will be able to make my tyres last longer than what they are.
Ill try post pics now

Those bolts adjust the bottom strut mounting, to straighten the camber up.

Thank you.
So will these bolts help sort it out? or at least make my tyres last longer than 2months if setup correct?

If your steering wheel is straight there, that's got terrible toe-out too.

Cant say it was straight, no powersteering at the moment.
I'll get it checked though
Has anyone got any specific measurements it should be lowered 60 (as its different to standard)

The camber on mine was miles out, with spax shocks and Jamex 60mm springs, had the tracking laser aligned and everything, was still wearing faster on the inside of the tyres though.
Fitted these eibach bolts on the top of the 2 strut mounting things, I've got them set as far out as they'll go, and they're soooo nearly level with the road now

Poot do you have to modify anything to make them fit?
