My rear arms are solid and I can't adjust them. I have too much negative camber. Camber bolts gives too little effect as I need to loose about 2 degs. Any thoughts on how to correct this?

you have ET13 wheels? lol they must stick out out the guards alot

you rolled the bottom lip?


Nope. Fits perfectly flushed in the front and I'm going to put 20mm in the rears to make them match.

If you're only getting 1 degree from camber bolts then you're doing it wrong.


How so? I didn't think it's physically imposable to adjust them in any other way.

I just had an idea. can't you replace the rear solid lateral arm with another front lateral adjustable arm? that way you all the lateral arms are adjustable? and just shorten the arms to give more positive camber change.

You could always modify the stock arms to make them adjustable. They are hollow units, measure up from the outter mount about 2 or 3" and slice out about an inch. Tap the inside of the arm and thread in a stud. Tap the other side and adjust. I don't believe it would weaken the unit.


Yes which is why I think the only way forward is to make my own.
Maybe I'll source a set of stock ones and send it off or maybe buy a set of BMW control arms and modify them.
The question is how much shorter should I go?
