Default Front strut tower bolts on s13

When we installed my new tein He the other day, we noticed something very unusual on the front two coilover lower mounts. The top bolt was 15mm, and the lower one was 17mm. If the top and bottom were loosened, you could push the top of the hub in and drastically change the camber. Both sides were like that. I ordered 2 new bolts and nuts from nissan... $8 freakin dollars. Has this ever happened to anyone? I just wanna know if they were supposed to be like that, or it was just a freak type a thing with my car.

just make sure you pull the spindle out to you (adding pos camber) to gain clearance between wheel and coilover.
