You need to measure the diameter to give an idea of the bolt size.
Camber bolts are smaller than the existing bolts otherwise they wouldn't work, here's a link to eibach ones for a 172/182 from ktec:

Look the same to me

Bought a pair of these from kamracing (best price-15 quid) and wanted to set things clear with these bolts. I know I had some questions about these...
So here's what I know
They work on standard shocks, if you have coilovers with elongated holes they're useless
Don't be scared by the diameter of the shaft, it's supposed to be smaller than the original- 10.5-11mm for the sport camber bolts
They are longer than the originals-no problem, plenty of thread
Heard questions about them being different from sports to non sports. They are. For the sports they have to replace a 14 mm diameter bolt, non sports have 12 mm
I made some research in the way they work (acad drawings and stuff) and a good way to be sure you bought the right ones for a mk2 sport is to measure the lobe on the bolt shaft which should be aprox 14mm (like the original)
Or... the part number should be 5.81260K
Camber gains:
Using my diy camber gauge I reached about 1,8 negative at the front so the statement of them giving between 1,75 positive to 1,75 neg extra is true
It's possible of reaching higher values with the 54 mm hub bolt spacing, geometry showed me that
(don't know how much though)
Be cautious and do the tracking after altering the camber, mine went toe in like crazy after applying neg camber
General opinion is 1 degree of neg camber is safe for normal road use- no heavy tyre wear
Installation:
Well I thought it would take about 1 hour to get them fitted... wrong! be sure to have decent tools and a hammer, the upper std bolts can be a B***H to get out
Some wd40 is always good
Care is needed when finally removing the top bolt, the hub may tilt suddenly outwards and cause some damage to a body part
If attempting to fit them yourselves also get a camber gauge. I saved some cash doing the camber myself so the tracking was cheaper the next day
Hope this helps!
