Very clean setup! I will try to camber out the rear a bit, but for the front im pretty limited.

Thanks! The front should fit no problem without that much camber, I just went with that because I was told it should be more than whatever the rear camber is.

Keep in mind, the FI-Rs are my track setup, daily driving on stock ZCPs. So I might change it up to less aggressive cambers if I start going through my tires like there's no tomorrow and adjust it before tracking

So it's confirmed that this setup will work?

Front camber is -2.9, rear is -2.3
265/35/19 | 305/30/19 R888
KW HAS, vorsteiner vff101 , 5mm spacer up front to clear HAS collar.
Front 19x9.5 offset 22
Rear 19x10.5 offset 34

What exact modifications am I'm missing?

We did not pull the fender, cut, trim, or modify anything besides camber and toe

Confirmed, it works.

How's the NVH on the R888?

Doesn't bother me, but it's a little louder than MPSS. I swap them out at the track so can't really give you an opinion on highway driving. Windows are down at the track so there's a lot of wind noise that hides everything else

I bought a similar setup from autotalent yesterday. Thanks and hope I can get it to work following the same alignment specs.

Thank you for your business!

I am confident that you will have no issues. I believe Shmelgy just tested it out on the track with no problems

Yeah, sorry I didn't see your previous post. Those alignment specs worked perfectly for me but I have Clubsports not HAS. So I don't know what kind of camber you can get out of that setup

As Justin mentioned, I have no issues

Best way to get that front camber?

Thanks

Camber plates

I should have clarified, which camber plates.
Also -2.3 in the rear is attainable without toe arms?

There aren't too many stand alone camber plate options available yet. Ground Control is probably the only one that can get you a -2.3 camber on the front. TC Kline is also available, but they are preset camber slots. Vorshlag has been working on theirs... not sure if it's available yet.

The rear can go to -2.3 easily, but your toe settings will be very limited with that much camber. Toe arms might be a good idea if you want that much negative camber and good toe adjustment range.

Yea the options right now for camber plates aren't that attractive for me, I believe the stack height of TCkline raises the car (but I'm not a fan of GC for other reasons such as the bolt/nut fitment when dialing more camber). Vorshlag is what I'm waiting on..

As far as rear camber I'm on stock toe arms / bolts and I have -2.3 rear with 1/8th total toe in or 1/16th on each side.

When I went to get an alignment done at a shop recently, I had originally asked for -2.2 camber and 1/32 toe-in. The tech told me it was impossible to adjust any toe-in with that much camber. I thought it didn't sound right.

Where did you go? Maybe I need to go to a different shop.

I got two alignments both with those specs, but again there will be some slight differences from shop to shop that I've noticed as well.

When I had swifts, I went to Westend, and then when I got the coilovers I ended up going to Platteform AG.

What I mean by the differences from shop to shop, when I had swifts, the drop wasn't as low as coilovers, but west end was able to get my camber to -2.0 in front (which I didn't understand how...) But then I went to platteform with my PSS10 and they were able to get only -1.8 because it was fixed. However both were able to get the rear to -2.2 to -2.3 with the toe I listed.

Westend uses hand tools and platteform AG uses Hunter alignment rack for what it's worth.

I think Platteform AG is gone now correct? I went to Westend the first time and they dialed my corner balancing and alignment in perfectly. This most recent time, I went to a different shop that uses a digital alignment rack, and they weren't able to get the settings I asked for.

I wonder if there are any other good alignment shops out there.

I've had a couple of people mention that platform ag is gone so I guess so? I just went about half a year ago. Evasive, Westend, Autotalent, BBI autosport are probably the ones I'd be willing to try off the top of my head.

Shmelgy has KW 2-way, another option is Ground Control or Vorshlag camber plates if you have springs already.

Yes. I've seen someone go as far as -3

tsela_f80 · 11-17-2016, 11:29 PM

So On my f80 I'm lowered on Macht schnell springs, I recently put 295/30/19 cup 2 tires on and with a 10mm spacer (stock 19s) under compression have rubbing in the rear. When I jacked the car up and looked in the wheel well I can see rubbing marks but only on the actual wheel well liner.

I took the rear spacers off for now but would like to put them back on should someone have any good suggestions.
