Why do you want 0 camber?

In my humble opinion, 0 camber leads me to more traction control when doing power slide...

do you agree ???

Would you not want a slight negitive camber for power sliding ?

first of all i want to have an even tire wear...

second, if negative camber, will my left wheel lose abit of traction when i sliding to the right ???

0deg camber will not give you even tire wear, best of to leave it as is and get over sized wheels and strech a tire on those, this will make the car better to slide as the tire wall wont flex and you will get good even wear.

If you have 0 deg camber the outer edge of the tire will wear very quickly.

yup i agree on you...

but in fact in malaysia is very hard to get oversized wheel for e30...

will the oversized wheel on e30 looks more to zero degree camber ???

becoz some of the e30 i saw their camber are too negative for rear wheel, and the wheel look inside the fender..

some i saw the rear wheel are in line with the rear fender...

whats diffrent betwen this ??

thanks...

Lowering the car will increase negative camber, were both the cars the same height?

I think I understand what you mean about the left wheel if you are sliding to the right but negative camber does increase the grip. One thing to consider is that when cornering or sliding the weight is shifted to the outside tye and I think it is most important for grip and it's grip will benefit from negative camber. The inside tyre might loose a little bit but if you have an LSD the inside wheel won't spin until the outside one has lost grip as well. Some cars even lift the inside wheel off the ground into corners and it doesn't effect the overall grip too much.

If you still want to change it you can get adjustable trailing arm bushes but I don't know if they can go to 0 degrees of camber, it depends how much you have now.

That E30 in your sig has Neg camber on the rear.

IF you really want to do it, then you can get bushes from BMW that will bring the camber closer to 0 when the car is lowered, but you really dont want 0, plus these bushes wont get you to 0.
