I'm installing a subframe with adjustable camber toe tabs and eccentric bolts. My question is if there is a preferred orientation (i.e. Nuts outside and bolt head inside). I plan on taking it to a shop for alignment, but is there a certain orientation that makes it easier?

When I did mine, I put the nuts to the outside (closest to the subframe bushings) and that was a mistake, because fast forward a couple of years, corrosion set in, and I went to align the car again.. but couldnt crack those rusted nuts loose, because you can only really fit an open end wrench into the area between the trailing arm bushing and the subframe bushing.
Recently I had to replace a bunch of stuff out back in my car and I flipped those around so that they will be easier to crack loose in the future -
The oreintation I installed mine in, I had them as follows ( viewed from above
O = mounting fixture
N = nut
B = bolt
--NOB----BON---(Diff)----NOB-----BON--
This makes it so I can remove the bolts without pressing out the sub frame bushings, that was my main reasoning. That outer nut though is tough to get a wrench on, be warned. I contacted garagistic and they suggested a modified S-wrench for them.
