    UrS6 wheel alignment issue.

    I just had the BNIB Bilstein B8 in,H&R springs,Igor mods camber plates,Thomas solid subframe bushings,slot more on the strut mounts ,New 255/35R18 Goodyear Asymetric tyres over my LM's.I had my car for a wheel alignment and found my front right camber is way off (-2.0degree) whilst the front left camber(-0.2degree)so the cross camber is -1.8degree.Can i still shift the Thomas's solid subframe?I checked the solid subframe and seems they 're properly aligned visually.

    Can't you adjust the top mounts? Or are the fully adjusted and you still have this problem? Anything bent? There is some adjustment by loosening the subframe bolts even with solid mounts.

      Well pop, you did have the strut welded in wrong angle, hadn't you?

      The subframe will not have much adjustment, I doupt it will be enough to correct that.

          Thomas,the strut housing is now original HP2 one w/o any mods on them.
          the top mounts are slotted for more adjustment,the lower plates are also
          being drilled regarding to the igor's mods.only thing i could adjust at the moment
          is the rear solid subframe bushings.i might need to shift it to the left wheel for
          the camber compensation on the right wheel.Previously,i always had the more negative
          camber on the left wheel but now it switches to the right wheel.this's crazy.i never
          got the camber within factory spec on this car.

            Shift subframe and forget factory specs. Just get them to even out a bit.

                raise front wheels up when on tacking ramp. Loosen all 4 subframe bolts, loosen main arb mounts on subframe, loosen camber adjust on top mounts. When everything a little loose and can move lower car back down so on wheels ready for tracking. Tighten subframe, then tighten anti roll bar then adjust topmounts and tighten. Same for the back loosen of arb and subframe etc.... Because when you bolt them onto your car they are normally hanging instead of under compression giving false location and uneven adjustment.
