    New E30 owner with a question about my camber

    I'm new, please don't flame me too bad. I just picked up this cabrio for my wife a couple of weeks ago. Is it possible to tell by looking at the photos I have posted if the car has been lowered? I'm not familiar with BMWs and didn't know if anyone out there could tell by how the car looks. The rear wheels have some negative camber, and I was wondering if there is a way that I can tell if it has been lowered, or if the original equipment is just maybe worn out. The socks are KYB gas adjust. Don't know if that helps or not.
    Thanks

      First, welcome to R3V!

      Second, definitely stock.

      Most if not all BMW's have a bit of negative camber out back....by the way, that is not alot of camber...

      This is camber :)

          Thanks for the replies and the welcome.
          I'm having a great time with the car so far. Very fun to drive, and it's even fun to work on. Before we bought it, it had been a few years since it had seen much love. So I replaced all of the belts including timing, all of the hoses, water pump, thermostat, wires, plugs, dist cap, rotor and adjusted the valves. It's much happier already.
          This site has been a great source of information.
          Thanks again

                  I was gonna say...

                  Spacers, hell!! Less ET, more wheel, much more tire!

                  And what kind of valence is that? Did you just trim the stock one?

                    no. . .

                    this is negative camber/proper fitment
