front and rear camber
 
My internet has been down so I've been using the past week, sorry, no search option.

I've been doing some searching on the internet and didn't find much for front camber/castor plates, awr and ground control.

For the rears, the only individual adjusters I found were awr and mmr, not selling private party.

For the front camber/castor plates, I was wondering if anyone has reviews? I know the bmw's I work on a lot, the gc race plates give a minimum of like 2.5 degrees camber, depending on height, anyone have another brand they recommend?

I know rear individual camber adjusters, it's best to have spherical bearing in conjunction with, and at that point, individual toe adjusters because it seems like you ditch the eccentric bolt. Anyone have more options ? I read a thread where someone had to tack weld the awr adjustment to keep from moving!

I'm wondering if the rear toe arms require you to drill the taper fit straight, or do they come with proper hardware top fit without drilling.

Haven't ever done an alignment on my fc yet, but I am curious on your limitations of stock eccentric? With the desired camber settings of people that go to the track, does the factory adjustment have enough range to give me the toe I'll need? For example, the rears on e92 bmw can have a ton of camber adjusted, maybe up to 3.5 degrees. But at that setting, the toe will probably be over 1.5 degrees out. So with the correct amount of toe, the camber will be 1.5 or less, without an aftermarket toe adjustment.

How much rear camber is good for the fc rear anyways?

the stock FC rear suspension is only adjustable for toe in. the stock rear camber is -1 to -1.5 or so at stock ride height, up until late 91, then they changed it to -.5

lowering the rear adds negative camber, so we're usually lowering the car, and using the aftermarket adjusters to get camber back close to -1.5, or less.

there is plenty of toe adjustment stock.

cool! the fc suspension, for people that want to track their cars, what is a good rear camber setting?

as little as you can get, usually this is about -1.5

I'm using some Powered By Max shortened rear dog links in conjunction with an adjustable rear center link. My car is as low as it can be without rubbing the plastic front fender liners too much and my rear static camber is -1.0 deg. This is with the adjustable rear link pretty close to stock length, which is nice because the rear camber discrepancy increases as you tilt the rear subframe.

Back when I was using Tein camber plates with Tokico blues and Eibach Pro kit springs, I could get the front up to about -2.2. With my modified Fortune 500 coilovers I can manage about -3.5, but so far I've been running between -1.5 to 2.0 on the street and 2.0 to 2.5 on the track. I'm hoping to get a pyrometer this spring so I can do real temp testing instead of just adjusting the scrub line on the tire shoulder.
