Hi guys,

Just a quick question - I'm about to fully rebuild the suspension on my Touring with Eibach ARBs and springs, Bilstein B6 dampers, E30 M3 eccentric wishbone bushes, camber correction top mounts etc. The car will just be used on the road rather than track, so am I right in thinking that this would be the best adjustment to have the ARB on (marked by the pen!):

Rather than this which might be too stiff?:

On a different note, have I got the camber correction top mounts figured out the right way here:

Basically so that the strut is brought closer in towards the centre of the car?

Thanks! :D

Your top picture is of the softest setting, the other is then the stiffest.

You are also correct about the top mounts but they can only go on one way :D

If its only a road car those front top mounts will just increase inner edge tyre wear on the front tyres

So standard top mounts would be a better bet with the eibachs, bilsteins and eccentric bushes you reckon?
