In general castor and camber in the front is not adjustable on these cars. Only front toe and rear camber/toe are.




Camber:

-Static up front. Only way to change it is with a different oem upper control arm. Either + .5, -.5, or neutral (stock).

-Rear is adjustable but you will not be able to get back to minimum camber since it runs out of adjustment. No aftermarket fix yet that I know of.

Toe:

-Adjustable front and rear. This adjustment coupled with the absurd lack of camber in the front is what causes the front tires to cup.







My settings:

Camber:

-I added the oem -.5 camber control arm so with my drop I'm at -2 in the front.

-The rear is adjusted as positive as possible and it's still a -2.5. I am lowered quite a bit though.

Toe:

-Minimum approved toe in according to adjustment range. This allows the wheels to become 0 toe under acceleration and improves turn in dramatically. A positive side effect is no more cupping.

-Rear is maximum approved toe in according to the adjustment range. Allows one to get on the power earlier coming out of a turn.
