I'd like to get a bit more camber out of my setup, which I'll check if it's appropriate with a pyrometer and the other methods mentioned in here.

But, I'm not entirely sure HOW to get the additional camber. Can someone just give me a very brief explanation of how we can get 2.0 to 2.5 camber on these cars? I'm currently using the crash bolts to get 1.3, and I know I might be able to get 1.5 using the actual camber bolts. I'm curious what parts would be needed to get appropriate camber front and rear. Thanks!

Camber plates up front, lower control arms in the rear.

Perfect, I'll do a bit more research from here. Thanks.

Crash bolts top and bottom in the front. Supposedly you can rotate the front shock mounts.

I have the crash bolts in the bottom. I don't like this and would rather spend the money doing it the right way.

Get camber plates. Raceseng is the gold standard, but you pay for it. And some of what you're paying for might be the pretty look. Consider those, Vorshlag, RCE and maybe some others.

FYI, leave the camber bolts in, if you are pushing the car, odds are you'll need it.

Edit: 'it' being the extra ~.7+ degrees of negative you get with camber bolts.

Yes. The LCAs should work with anything, and the camber plates can be ordered with mounts for anything.

OK, my biggest concern was the LCAs as I didn't know if the stock top mounts would support adding the camber.

I wonder if we'll ever be able to buy the Reiger 3-way suspension.
