Ready for suspension! How much Camber?
I am ready to install a suspension setup along with my new wheels.

I am just wondering how much adjustments do we have in terms of camber for front and rear. with no aftermarket camber plates.

Whats max negative camber anyone has put on?

Hope someone can help! I want to be prep for a track day this season. (In Canada we don't have much time)

Thanks!!!

The negative camber should increase automatically if you lower the car.

You don't need more negative camber on it. Just let it settel in and then get an alignment done to get it within specs.

Yes, I understand that it will increase when I lower it.

I want to dial in some more, if its possible. I run close to -2.8 onmy E46M.

Well, I guess I'll see how muhc adjustment I have after I lower it.
