Eibach's and camber..

Post by tom_ekn » Thu May 10, 2012 10:21 pm

Hi

Recently fitted Eibachs to my Z4C and now it's sitting lower the wheels appear to have quite a bit of camber. I guess I need to get this sorted or I'm going to get some crazy tyre wear!

Is there specific settings that the camber/alignment should be or do I just leave them to it??

Thanks
Tom.

you may try to set an original camber, byt it might end with tyres rubbing your inner wheel arch - especially at the front
go and have an alignment checked - then you will know everything :)

btw rear wheels are supposed to have crazy negative camber - thats how they are set originally by bmw
