Adjustable upper pillowball mount camber question.

I have the FLEX's with the adjustable mounts up front and was wondering if each notch(for camber) is equivelent to 1 degree? Right now it's pretty close to zero so does that mean it's zero degrees camber or is that just some reference number? I hope those weren't the stupidest or the most obvious questions but i just wanted to know because i'm getting my alignment done soon.

thanks for the help.

IIRC each large notch is 1 degree, but if you set the camber plates at 0 after installing the coilovers, that doesn't mean that your starting point is with the wheels at 0 degrees.

Get camber bolts, set the camber plates to 0, then get an alignment and have the shop align the front to 0. then from there you can adjust and know what angle your fronts are really at.
