Lots of Camber With Bilstein B12 Kit
I'd be grateful if someone could help me out with this one. I recently bought a second hand bilstein B12 kit and had it fitted yesterday. I now seem to have alot of negative camber on the front (over 3 degrees). I know lowering does change the camber, but it shouldn't to this extent. Here are some pictures, but they don't show it quite as much as in the flesh.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I don't think theres any way of them being fitted incorrectly? I've contacted the person I bought them off to see what they were like on his car, so waiting on his response. I know you can get adjustable top mounts from puma speed, but they only adjust camber by 1 degree, so even with those fitted my camber would still be over 2 degrees which leads me even more to think theres a problem somewhere. What's an acceptable amount of camber on the front of a fiesta road car?
All input appreciated

Anybody for a brew?
I'v not had this problem about 1.75 degrees on mine after i fit eibachs. so not too bad.
I have a pair of lower arms with elongated ball joint holes and High tensile bolts that allow the camber to be tweeked.
You could even adapt your current lower arms.
YOurs does seem high tho.

are they a pinch bolt or twin bolt set up at hub? with the later alot of people dont bolt them up right which gives loads of neg camber, very common on corsas and polos
