    First thing you need to realize is that the specs are for an e30 with stock suspension. A by-product of lowering our cars, or any car with a macpherson strut-type suspension is that the camber is increased.
    Basically, if nothing is bent, you should have more camber in front when you install lowering springs.

    But you have bent parts in your front suspension. Yes, you may be able to correct the alignment with camber/caster plates, but it doesn't change the fact that something is not right. I'd say its likely that your strut housing or tower is tweaked from a prior accident.

    Got it?

        Yes, Factory OEM crash mounts flipped around can get you an addition .5 negative or .5 postive degrees of camber.

          these might be a little on the expensive side, but i wonder if they are good?

            Based on what I've read thus far, the street camber plates would give you sufficient room to get back to stock settings, but I'd suggest you get yourself a strut brace to stiffen up your towers a bit.

              So as I undertand I'm geting the street camber plates replacing my busted left strut cartridge (Tokicico) and a strut brace and I'm good Thanks:mrgreen:!

                I can also get the Tokico replacement for you if you want.
