I got mail recently asking what the correct camber would be for a lowered suspension.
The front cant be changed, only balanced and as it happens my front camber is about 1.3 degrees with the Audi/Eibach sport springs (about .75" below OEM sport). The Bentley calls for 50 minutes of camber for the OEM sport springs, for what that is worth.
The rear can be adjusted some. After lowering my car the rear camber was about 1.8 degrees. The sport spec is 55 minutes. Without an actual spec I have not had the rear changed, but if the F/R cambers should remain proportional the new setting should be about 1.45 degrees.
Assuming the car is not used extensively on the track what do folks think a suitable rear camber should be?
By the way, I am seeing no unusual tire wear or funny handling in the 10,000 miles after the lowering.
