I have a set of Eibach ProKit springs on my car, which lowered the car quit a bit more than the 1" advertised, more like about 2", and I can't seem to get enough negitive camber.
I have the stock camber adjusting bushing set to give the most camber and even installed a set of the Eibach camber adjusting bolts and the car still seems to have positive camber. "Racerb" has mentioned a set of Cusco camber plates, which he says are not good because there is no caster adjustment. Where can I find these camber plates? I looked in the "aftermarket" section of this site and can't find a link. I also tried a Google search but didn't want to spend the days required to look at all the sites the search returned.
I've seen pix of lowered cars on this site and am wandering how those cars get adjusted. Whatever solution I come up with needs to be SCCA legal for Street Prepared and adjustable.

You mean your camber is too negative.. you need more positive camber.

No, I mean my wheels are too positive and I need more negitive. I wish my problem was that I have too much negitive. I autocross my car and that would come in handy.
On my front tires, the tops of the tires are more outward than the bottoms of my tires. According the everything I have read, this is considered "positive". I want negitive chamber, which is the reason for this thread.
Thanks for at least replying.

What?! lowering your car added positive? That's nuts! that's the reverse of what I would expect. My '85 has some major negative camber in the rear from the drop..
Man, I really wish I could help, but I'm not experienced with drops on these cars.

You're right! Well, thanks to you, I started second guessing my installation of the camber adjusting bushings, so I pulled the front tires off and checked the bushings and sure enough, I had them in 180* of fwhat they should be. I flipped them around, thightened everything up and now it's ready to be aligned. Thanks!

No problem, I guess. I didn't really do much But I'm glad you got it fixed up.
