Drop and camber.

This! Thanks for this - as i have roughly the same goals in mind. Eventually RCA will be added, but not as high of priority as losing the horrible gap. Thanks again.

Here is my alignment sheet. I used the eibach sportlines. They are rated at 1.5 drop i believe.

this is only springs no other suspension mods?

Subscribed. I'm looking into which rear control arm will bring back the rear camber the best currently.

In the mean time, just wondering if anyone knows if certain coilovers come with camber plates that will allow us to adjust to within -(1.5-1.7) camber range in the rear?

3" drop front and rear
custome front arms with camber,castor,track,rollcenter, and anti-dive corrections. Bump steerable front tierod ends. Raised front camber plates and raised rear damper mounts. No other rear equiptment otherwise.
Front camber -3.7 zero toe 10 degrees caster/rear -2.5 degrees camber zero toe (all with stock arms.
(FULL RACE SETUP) can you tell?

never ran out of travel tires wearing on the inside as expected but getting 10+ track days out of them (RS3's/R1R's)

Eibach sportlines for me also no other modifications to the suspension..as follows:

Is that alright? I'm completely clueless when it comes to this..though I'm doing allot of reading on the matter to try and learn it.. but it looks strange to see so many different incriments like the left and right aren't in sync.

Camber plates only work with macpherson struts. Our rears are multi link with an upper control arm, so you have to have adjustment in either the upper or lower control arm.

The only thing they were able to adjust was the front and rear toe angles as the stock suspension allows for only toe adjustments. Looks like all they did was zero the toe front and rear.

Small differences between left and right toe and camber values are normal for road cars from the factory. These differences can be caused by manufacturing/assembly techniques, as well as setting up suspension to ride on public roads that are usually cambered to the passenger curb and the fact that the majority of the time a car will only have a driver throwing off weight balance. As long as toe and/or camber are within spec at each corner and the cross camber/total toe are within spec as well there isn't anything to worry about.

In the rear right it looks like they adjusted the toe to zero which probably affected the camber a little bit.

Otherwise everything looks fine.

RS-R Superdowns (about a 1.2" drop)


Alignment:
1.1FL 1.3FR (with crash bolts)
1.9RL 2.3RR


basically 0 toe


Its an excellent alternative to the Sportlines. Cheaper, less camber, and a great ride.

No crash bolts yet but this is with the pro kit.
