z3 rear camber,if using lowering springs
I have h/r sport springs that lower 1.250'' and I have hade to make my own off-set bushings. Iwas able to get an offset of @ .230 each. This gives me @ 1.8 o~ camber. They have from time to time spun. Can anyone tell me a better way?

Look at the M3 offset bushings for the E30. You may find something that works there.

I can't find anything ! I need more info. The .220 offset poly with .050 steel tubes inside, work well, but what do you do if you dont make your own. They sell lowering springs, what did you do?

I was told that 2 to 2.25 is what is normal. Without adding spring plates and with 1'' lowering springs you end up with @ 3.75 camber. So I tried to order off sets, but only found .062 bushings. I want to endup with @ 1.75 as I do not take it to a track ect. This will be easyer on tires...with sport spring handelingand lower ride. The front is ok with 1''drop and stiffer ride. I was told that ''real world'' camber ia 2.25to2.50 witch is hard on tires. As when you rotate them it makes your car pull when on an uneven road. As your outside tread is taller.
