I just finished installing the subframe riser kit.. They helped but not THAT much. I'm on cosmo coilovers which are cranked up as high as I can, the car is low but not slammed. Camber was very high.. when I first set it down off the lift it looked like it went down to -2 or so but it settled out after driving. I'd say I still have at least -4. So, better than nothing.. but I'm a little on the fence if it was worth the trouble. Subframes are a such bitch to get in there. But not as much of a bitch as weld-on tabs!!

I'm going to buy taller springs and try to dial it out that way, -2 max.

I wish I had the means to do actual before and after measurements for you guys.. sorry this is highly subjective.

Ok. I take picture.

I will admit 1º is looking to be about twice what I had in my head, so I will revise my goal to -1º of camber. 0 to -.5º I'd probly have to get back to damn near stock ride height. Where it is now I am satisfied enough to live with but may still consider taller springs so the coilovers aren't topped out.

The bushings resolved between 1º to 2º of camber at the height I'm at (NOT SLAMMED). They were sitting at least -3º, possibly as much as -4º, now it appears just a hair over -2º.


not exactly slammed..


squatting


trying to compare to front wheel (which is stock camber setting so close enough to 0 for this sort of wankery)


using autocad to try to try and get an idea where i'm at.

Sorry I'm too cheap to take it in to be properly measured, but it's more proof than most of the armchair guys have brought in.

To be honest I'm a bit surprised, I was highly skeptical that I would see much of anything from a 12mm adjustment. I really just had my fingers crossed because I really don't want to have to do the weld-on tab project.

Wiglaf, We have seen an improvement of +3º after installing the risers. That does not mean you will be at 0 unless you started exactly around -3º.
