    Lowered car -> massive negitive camber....

    Any way to correct this? I tried searching but didn't come up with much. I Can't think of anything that would correct it, but maybe someone else knows something i don't. My e30 EATS tires and spits them out! :(

    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

        In the front I went with the IE street camber plates. They were the cheapest, adjustable alternative. In the rear, the only way to correct it is to weld in a camber correction kit at the rear trailing arm. There are several companies that sell these including IE. I also understand that KMAC makes an eccentric set of rear trailing arm bushings that allow a camber adjustment. I haven't heard from anyone that runs them though.

          Camber is a good thing. If you can't deal with it maybe you shouldn't have lowered the car.

            Too much camber in the rear is bad and detrimental to handling. Probably what this chap has.

              a description of what your car is, what kind of suspension and how much camber you have, and also what wheels you are talking about (front or rear) would help considerably. telling us "I have a car and it has a problem" doesn't do anyone much good.

                  quit your bitching, -2.5 upfront and -2.0 in the rear. on h&r sports plus some other goodies.

                    I'd prefer to not go through tires twice as fast if not nessicary. Every car I've owned has been low, so i think I can "deal with it"....

                    It is just the back mostly. I may have to look into these weld in camber correction plates. Thanks for the tip :)

                    As for the picture posted by rwh11385, it is probably about the same, maybe a tad worse. I will take pictures tomorrow, and post up. Also I'll post a pic of a tire that was on the back for one month.

                          Who said I could afford tires?!

                          I'm dialing mine out soon too. Thank goodness for GC camber plates...well they do have that dumb problem though...

                            I know the feeling, I'll probably need another set of rear tires by the end of the month.

                              How about some springs with a reasonable drop? Spare your tires and probably better overall traction.
