Hello,

Curious if anyone has any pointers on how to property set up the front struts so they have the proper camber? The front struts have slotted upper attachment bolts and it looks like you can easily change your camber by ~10°.

Im looking for something close to stock fwiw. I guess i could set the car on the ground measure, adjust, measure but that seems like a real science fair haha.

Thanks,
Grant

If the top and bottom bolts holes are parallel to the strut thats about stock camber (for the ride height).

if you’re trying to get back to stock camber after lowering then you can pull the top bolt out away from the strut, but IDK why you’d buy such good coils and the ruin it with minimal front camber. The chassis likes some more front camber for performance driving. Stock is extremely conservative for the normals who only care about their tire life and a heavy bias to understeer at the limits.

Haha I am one of those normies. This is my DD for a few more years. I had a set of DFV's on a DSM(modified evo units) years ago and liked how they behaved.

I was looking at the stock struts and noticed how the holes were aligned and then saw the same on the Ohlins if put in the position you mentioned. Cross my fingers for my ride home :)

Thanks for your comment, it increases my confidence.
