I'm running the small SPC lobed bolts in the lower holes with the stock lower bolts in the upper holes on KW v3's, it maxed out at -3.8*. I dialed it back to -3.2* very easily, the alignment guy loved that he could dial it back with the lobed bolts with the weight of the car on the wheels and not have to roll the car off the lift and bounce it around to settle the suspension again.

AFAIK RCE posted somewhere, that geometry wise it's a bit more beneficial to gain camber at lower mount, and another thing - even if coilovers have camberplates, imho it's still worth to fine tune camber using camberbolts, simply due camber changes linked to toe changes and how alignments are usually done - car lifted on alignment rig, and suspension tech dialing toe & camber from below of car with wrenches on both camberbolts & toe adjuster, while watching values off rig's screen.
Imho adjusting via camberplates themselves make sense only if onsite when at track, for some track-specific, weather-specific adjustments right there during trackday. Then it might be easier to do from above, on non lifted car. Not so on alignment rigs. When i imagine how suspension tech may need to crawl up for camber adjust at camberplates on lifted car, then back down for toe adjustment, then maybe several such iteractions .. sounds awfully clumsy and time consuming. |

Just throwing this out there since we are on the topic, but with the poke you get with 17 x9 +35 and 245/40 tires and minimal negative camber, will the fender or fenderwell contact the tire in hard cornering?? and i mean with the softer stock suspension, not coilovers. This is another reason i am holding off until coilovers are installed. With the stickier tires i suspect more body roll which maybe contact would happen?

+40, use spacers for tuning
Currently have +45s with a 5mm spacer all around, -4 degrees of camber up front Buy Tony's wheels, they already come with good tires |
