Going adjustable and the bolts on my car aren't in the best of shape. So, keep the adjustable camber bolt or ditch it? I'm leaning towards ditching it but wanna make sure I'm not screwing myself by doing so. Thanks

But you will need a large fender washer on either end to keep the bolt located in the slot, otherwise it will slide under load.

nooo
keep them
they subframe is slotted
under drifting/hard driving/road race etc etc etc
the replacement bolt will slip
the eccentric bolt will keep the ruca from moving on the subframe side
def keep it!
i removed mine ages ago (when i first got rucas on my s13)
it went from a good alignment -2.5 rear camber...to...
-4.5 and retarded toe in!
hahahha
KEEP IT!!

I was going to use another regular suspension bolt (they're all about the same).
Thanks Aaron, figured someone here would've already tried it and give feedback. So they'll stay on. Rep for all (even you Brian) that took the time to respond.

A regular bolt and a pair of large washers is a MUCH better solution than keeping the OE eccentric bolt in place. The OE bolt can still be adjusted by someone, throwing off your alignment, and typically the washer will jam into the bolt and keep it from coming off easily if it's needed. Plus if you do remove it for maintainence, etc. there's no gaurantee you'll get it back exactly to where it was, whereas a regular bolt can only sit in one spot if installed correctly.
