    I don't think its the cup kit... It's really quite stiff, I mean It didn't bottom out where stock suspension would bottom out, even when accidentally doing 25 mph (just a guess at american units, I was doing 40 km/h) over a speedbump (I swear it wasn't there when I went into the parking lot.)

    You can also use shortened subframe bushings to correct camber/toe issues associated with lowering the car.

    Check out the thread in the 24v swap forum on trailing arm reinforcements.

    how easily is this kit installed? I looked at the ad for it, and am curious about how much precision/ welding technique would be involved?

    front end you can get some plates that can slightly fix the camber issue due to lowering, with the rear though it's considerably more involved. Ireland Engineering for example, sells a rear subframe modification with some retainers and eccentric washers that allow you to adjust toe and camber in the rear, which also would allow you to dial some of the camber back out of it. Basically as the eccentric washer rotates it changes the pick up point of the semi trailing arms, realigning it. I'm not sure of the adjustment range though.

    CAmber issues with lowering

    Bought an e30 recently that had what the previous owner called an H&R cup kit. the damn thing is pretty low though , and the rear camber is definately off, the front camber is most likely off, but I don't know how much. How can I adjust the camber on an otherwise stock supension?

    cliffs for the average r3v attention span:
    car is low, camber is off, how can I fix camber?
Working...
