    Camber:

    I want to lower my e30 about 1.5 inches and was wondering how I can rea adjust my camber withou expensive upper plates. My car has the centered lower control arm bushing I was wondering if the proper rotaion of an offset bushing would correbt this?

    You won't need to correct the camber after only lowering an inch and a half. Don't worry about it.

      i assue you mean the front? front lowered camber isnt too bad....its the rear thats worse......i dont know of anyway to correct it without camber plates, control arm bushes (like e30 or aftermarket eg www.powerflex.com) add about a degree of castor and some toe, which you need to get aligned back.....any camber changes will be minute

        i've got a prokit on my car, probably a bit more than 1.5 drop and don't have enough neg camber to worry about it. So in other words, don't worry about it.

          same

          so I can drop it with Bilstein sports and eibachs in front and back and not worry aobut camber, but I will need an alignment of course.

              post a side shot. I was wondering since my springs are all original (330,000 miles) if i need the Eibachs or if mine are low enough.

                  Looks more raked than normal because my rear tires are over sized.

                  Sold it.

                      If you use worn springs with new bilsteins, you'll likely destroy the bilsteins unless you let it sit in the driveway. If you're stock springs have over 300k on them, at least get new stock springs.
