    Camber adjustment question

    ok guys ive had my car for awhile and its lowered on eibach springs. 88 325is. i have a lot of negetive camber in the front and i wus wondering wats the cheapest easiest way i can put some less camber on my wheels. i dont know whats out there for camber adjustments on e30s cause ive olny worked with rx7s in the past, but im sick of wasting tires because this car is my daily driver but i still like driving a nice sporty car for a daily so i like it with lowered suspension as a daily i just needa get rid of that camber...seems like all that camber mite put some more stress on my front suspension? i could be wrong.

          First, Eibachs don't work nearly as well on these cars as H&R Sports for a car driven daily and not tracked. Eibachs are too soft to be as low as they are.

          Second, camber plates suck on street driven cars. They make the car noisier for no good reason. Get these instead. :up:

            if camber plates make your car noisy, your car is a p.o.s.

            and eibachs are too soft? wtf is their spring rates? h&r sports are 185/330ish...

              actually to tell u the truth i didnt like the eibachs and konis at first when i got my car because ive had a couple rx7s with coilovers and now that my car is running perfect and no tires rub or anything i do like them. They are softer then h&r but for daily driving they are perfect and eventually if i can afford i want to get billies and h&r's but rite now i have 2 front bald tires because i have too much camber so im just gonna eliminate my front camber get some tires and im good for awhile.

              and i dont understand how putting camber plates can create a lot of noise, i put camber plates on my rx7 and they make no noise wutsoever?

                those look interesting, but how much negetive camber will i eliminate if i install them the reverse way?

                also i think ide rather buy adjustable camber plates so if i do eventually wanna track this car i can adjust as needed.

                      just curious are u talking about these?

                      http://store.nexternal.com/shared/St...t=products.asp

                      hope the link works, but if ur talking about those how much positive camber am i gonna see out of those, looks like u can only position them 2 different ways one for positive camber one for negetive?

                      EDIT: ok pretty sure link doesnt work but this is the title of them and they are the ones for 150$

                        no. those are not them. you want the street AND track adjustable plates. they use a urethane bushing to help out with road noise and such. good plates i have them on my car.

                        p.s. you want to stay away from positive camber.. thats how you'll r3v your car. the plates im suggesting for you maxed out at the position for least amount of camber will still have you at around .6 degree of neg. camber.

                          alrite so which ones r they then the 250$ ones? if it is the 250$ ones ur talking about i mite as well just get the Vorshlag ones for 275$ i think.

                          and im not dumb i dont want positive camber lol, i just want it more positive then it is right now.

                            then what you're trying to say is that you want less negative camber :up:

                            compare both of them and see which would be better for you then i guess.

                              You'll want something that will go more positive than stock, because most of those consider "neutral" be be the same as stock.
