I was able to initially obtain close to one degree negative camber in front on my 2010 Justa by removing the plastic pins. However, after adding Bilstein HD struts and M7 strut top plates, I lost almost half a degree of that.

This is a street only car and I am just looking to get the front to 1 and 1/2 degees negative. It looks to me that one should be able to acheive this by simply elongating (grinding) the holes inboard in the strut towers that the strut studs fit through,and machining the holes in the M7 plates to allow them to be moved inboard.

I understand camber plates may be needed for more extreme negative camber settings, but I am puzzled why I have not read anything about simply elongating the holes.

Appreciate your input.

When you removed the plastic pins was there anything else you had to do? I know the pin has to do with adjusting negative cambre, just not sure how removing it accomplishes that?

 

I heard a couple of people get more negative camber by elongating the holes

I am just hesitant as I am not sure of the effects on the tower strength.
