We tested some H&R camber bolts at MM in order to figure out if we wanted to use them on the Mustangs, but we couldn't torque them up to the OE spec so we passed.

Interesting. Just out of curiosity, did they break when you tried to torque them to OE specs or did you just figure they would break/stretch if you did?
Everything I've read says the OE camber bolts on my car should get torqued to 120 while the Eibach (and most other aftermarket camber bolts) shouldn't be torqued to more than 80. I mentioned this to Sid and he agreed. I have read threads on Nasioc where people have had the aftermarket bolts slip but most people attribute this to overtorquing (and subsequent stretching).
Marking the current position is a great idea Khail. I bet I can get under there and mark it without taking off the wheels...I hope.
