You can only change caster with the front tie rods, not camber.

I am half sure I run 12 degrees btdc. I don't have a timing light to check though....

11degrees tdc is with vacume blocked when timing the car, and 12degrees with vacume unblocked (or vice versa) this is std ignition set up.

dont do it yourself, get someone who knows what their doing, or it may end in tears!

To change the camber u need some adjustable TCA's, OR (as someone suggested to me) hack your top mounts off, weld in some rs1600i top mounts and then you can get top mount adjusters and run bilsteins (needless to say i didnt do the latter)

vroooom ptssssh: I didnt know u could set the timing with the pipe still connected on the ECU?
