    You are using a jig and have the serrated adjusters, perhaps you could do all your camber/toe corrections using both the serrated adjusters and cross member height before you even get it in the car. When using the serrated adjusters, you can notch the cross member first, bolt them in place without welding so you can move them around, then tack, remove, final weld.

    Also, side note, you may want to blur the address on your packages in public photos. Just read an article about new hackers using photos to get personal information. Your screen name "hasa" makes sense now.

Would have to read back at your cross member connection choice, but it may be as simple as raising it a few MM. Those adjusters tend to move when on track, the ones with serrations hold better, but are limited on adjustment with the notches.

    In meanwhile I purchased another set of camber plates and prepped the Z-axle to a jig for modifications. Left toe is slightly out and way too much camber at both side. 4-4.5 degrees. Camber plate placement must be done carefully. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My experience as well.
    I like the company, but I feel they're too focused on coming up with new stuff, and have lost quality by growing so fast...

    Could this be ok when using delrin bushings? I mean, how the eccentric adjustment would work when the bushings are almost solid. I try to find good sides from this issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Has somebody else faced quality problems with the Garagistic camber/toe-kit? This simply does not work as the machined piece has wrong dimensions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Finally I got my steering shaft solution installed. I truly hope that it works. Also some stoppers were required for the purple rack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yes, I had something like that.

    Current plan is to use E36 Compact/Z3 subframe with 12mm riser bushings and toe/camber correction kit. It is much more simple setup.
