Why do you need that much camber on the front?! Are you going round corners all day?!

Might have to lower the caster to be able to dial in more camber?

I know mine isnt lowered as much as yours Razz,but Gary ended up removing my front roll centre adjusters because they were causing severe bump steer.

i know that more camber = less caster and reverse, but j's says extra -2 degree of camber from the oem settings.

It's hard to see on the pictures which way they are offset but they should push the wheel outward for more negative camber.

I think they must be installed the right way round - you wouldn't get anywhere near 2.5 degrees -ve on the front with standard suspension.

The J's documentation might be being a bit sneaky and talking about max -ve camber on full droop. Not like Japanese companies to overstate their specs...

believe me my MY08 2-3 days ago was on OEM suspension and OEM ride height with max camber -2,5 and 5,6caster. My rear was able until -3,2 degrees camber on stock suspension.

I raise my eyebrows!

My suspension on the same sort of drop maxxed out -1'40" on the front and 2'30" at the rear. MY00. Bloody awful handling like that I must say. Mine is purely a track car as well.
