Camber Plate Question

Maybe this is a stupid question, but for those using front adjustable camber plates, how are you addressing camber adjustment once the coilovers are mounted? The hole in the body is too small to get to the adjusting allen-head screws so how is this accomplished?

Thanks.

I am using the Tarrett style plates which use different mounting nut positions for adjustment. It is not the allen bolt infinite adjustment style however. My alignment shop was able to get a perfect dial in for my front camber on lowered ROW M030 suspension though using a combination of my camber plates and factory adjustment options. FYI

Cool

My JIC's are adjustable.

I can use a ball end allen wrench that gives enough wobble to adjust them.

It's not that easy, but is is doable thru the top hole.

Thanks for the responses. This is a F'd up design that very isn't well engineered. I think I will replace the allen head bolts with hex head bolts, because a modified hex wrench bent 90 degrees or possibly a crowfoot wrench would work great through that hole and probably result in far less cussing for the alignment shop.

Thanks.
