Camber post drop
Hey guys, do we have the capability to adjust camber after lowering? Is it even needed with these cars? I’m coming from a hellcat and even a modest drop has eaten away at the inside of my tires. If there are adjustable camber kits needed and you have a link, please feel free to add it. If it’s not needed, even better 😂
Thanks in advance! |

Is there a risk by lowering the car we can mess up the intended geometry and integrity of the BMW suspension design? When I read McLaren720s comment it makes me wonder if lowering car would no longer have the car "firmly planted on the pavement", if you know what I mean... (Or I am missing something?)

The Verstappen's track monsters will chime in with their amazing track stories on OEM suspensions vs the ones modded here in this section (I dont track this car).

Also, lowering the car brings down the center of gravity which actually helps the car be and feel more planted. I'm very happy with the MSS HAS both on the street and track. It's very close to stock, in fact you I can't tell much difference.

I just had KW HAS put on last week and know I need to drive before bringing it in for an alignment. I don't plan on tracking the car or overly concerned with performance but I do care about tire preservation.
How many miles is recommended before bringing it in for an alignment? Can I bring it to any tire shop such as Tire Kingdom or Tires Plus or do I have to go to a specialty shop that knows how to deal with lowered cars and spacers? |

Any shop that does alignments can do it for you, although some shops won't work with cars that have spacers on which is truly bizarre to me.

I plan on getting the control arms to go the other way, wind on more camber for the track, but nothing is stopping you buying them to reduce camber, they should allow adjustment either way. https://studiorsr.com/products/spl-f...or-g80-m3-2021 Note, there may be other alternatives to what these guys offer, this was just easiest to find. |
