Doing just that was exactly what my e34 needed to get it from feeling like it was hoping down the freeway.

Also, if you didn't get the adjustable camber top hats from BC, I'd definitely recommend getting some adjustable upper control arms from FCP Euro.

Actually no, I haven’t tried this yet. Will be adjusting it in the morning to see how that feels. The spring rate feels good, I’m not sure if I’d go any higher personally. It’s stiff but not jarring, definitely less body roll in turns.

The car does have a lot more negative camber after install/alignment. I just assumed the mechanic did this on purpose…. Is it necessary to correct this? I love the way it looks, and (on even roads) it drives like a gokart now
