My E30 w/ S50

[Sean]

Oh but at least I didn't steal parts of my bodykit! I'm going to be spending +- $6500 on the car in parts alone over the next month... after which it will be well sorted, and I won't have stolen any of it!!!

I plan to have negative camber, positive caster, wheels & tires that fit, and no bent frame!!!

But, Jordan, bent frames add character!

I hope for your sake that 6500 buys the metal lower valance for this car that you dont care about how it looks.

[Jordan]

Nope, suspension, wheels, tires, lighting. Don't care about the sheet metal valance.

[Hick]

dude, that thing looks like a death trap! Fix the suspension

[e30love]

nice car really clean

[Digitalwave]

Nice positive camber dawg.

Guys, I don't have any suspension problems at all. ZIP/NADA. I have taken the car to the hill country here near San Antonio. Extremely stable in the corners. No noises, no pulling to either side (usually symptons of camber out of adjustment), it goes on a straight line (caster out of adjustment causes the car not to go straight) and no fish tailing when taking off. All I need to do is pull the frame on that side and I can take advantage of the camber plates. At least everything that I bought for the conversion including engine, tranny, diff, front and rear suspension, wheels, etc was a little over $ 4,600 about two years ago.

These are my current measurements in the front:

Left front: Right front:
Camber -2.1 degrees -1.9 (that is as far as it can go)
Caster 9.6 degrees 9.8 degrees

Rear left:

Camber - 2.0 degrees -1.9 degrees (can't adjust better until I fix the front)

Plan to have -2.5 degrees camber is that a good camber or it is too much?????????


PS: All I need is someone to at least tell me an outstanding frame shop near San Antonio/Austin area so I can take it there. Thank you.
Any more suggestions????

Don't you mean everything you stole for the conversion was worth a little over $4,600?

Yeah, because positive camber on all 4 corners and massively out of spec caster up front isn't a problem at all

[Van Westervelt]

Too bad you can't steal a new frame. lol

[Funkmasta]

how do you have a bent frame and no pulling issues?
i r confuzed

[E30MPOWER]

These are my current measurements all within specs. And the bent frame is just about 1/2 inch upwards not a lot.

Left front:
Camber -1.5 degrees
Caster 9.6 degrees
Toe .06 degrees

Right Front:
Camber -1.5
Caster 9.8 degrees
Toe .06 degrees

Rear left:
Camber - 2.0 degrees

Rear right
Camber -1.9 degrees

Plan to have -2.0 degrees camber in the front. Is that a good camber or it is too much?????????
