How much camber are you running?

If you have had an alignment, I'm curious as to who is running the most negative camber so far and how it was achieved? There are no camber plates or coilovers with adjustable top mounts yet that I know of. The only options I've seen are the powerflex bushings for front only +/- .75 degrees.

I noticed NM has adjustable rear control arms now. This is great news!

I'm not sure, I have no way of measuring it. It's fairly significant.

And yep that B38 equipped F56 is running -1 at the front end, but holy cats it was expensive.

But, for an autocrosser, worth it. It will save me a fair old bit of tire money and of course it does really help balance the car.

Cheers,

Oh, I thought it was *Custom all the Way.

I've never named a car, but if I did, maybe Miriam.


*Custom all the Way is another song on The Golem soundtrack.
