I have got to much camber on the front of my e30. Can anyone recomend me a good adjustable top mount. It would be nice to use all of the tyre and not just the inner 1 1/2" .

Its lowerd all round by 35mm but it has a m30 engine in the front now. when I had the suspension set up they said that it would need adjustable top mounts. Do you think it does from the pic ?
I have got to sort the rear out as well.

From the pic you've posted and some iffy measurements with KDE Screen Ruler, camber looks to be about -4.5deg, which is a bit excessive. Recommendations seem to vary from 1-3 degrees, depending on use.
I've just checked mine (lowered 40mm on 15" BBS, standard M20B20) and it seems to have about 6 degrees total. I can't give figures for each wheel because of the camber of the road it's parked on. You have checked that the car is level, right?

Yes the drive is level. I did get a print out when I had it set up but cant find it now so I am now off to look for it.

sexual suspension components
for a cheap fix, open out the strut mounting holes and use larger washers,not as bad a bodge as you might think.
