    rear arm camber adjustment on e30

    As I understand, 1.25" lowered suspension with create N camber and give toe out as original setting is zero rear toe. If one would adjust the rear camber (more inner attachment point up), will this affect toe as well? I understand there are separate toe and camber kits. I just would like to know if this minimal drop and only camber plates will correct toe back, close to zero.

    Also does anyone knows what actual changes 1.25" lowered suspension does to 325i in regard to Front and Rear toe/camber?

    You get toe in on the rear of the car as they lower. The adjusters (eccentric or posi-lock) Make adjustments nearly completely independently of each other, so adjusting the rear camber won’t effect the toe at all.

      Thank you. you are right, toe-in on the compression. I found an article explaining e30 rear geometry, if anyone is interested. it states that 1" of the suspension compression will net 0.9 degrees of N. camber. At the same 1" of compression, total toe IN will be 1/128" (measured at the lip of 17" wheel). Interesting.....

        It doesn't toe in much until you get pretty low.
        (1/128" per wheel is 1/64" total, which is tiny)
        And a little rear toe- in is nice and safe.
