Can anyone tell me what happens to the rear suspension geometry of an e36 when you raise the ride height? Are there any toe or camber changes that take place? If so, what happens... toe-in... toe-out... camber goes more negative/positive?
Thanks for the help.

As you raise the rear, both camber and toe-in decrease.
Hopefully we will see you soon! Still running STX?

We're taking this year off, but we should be at the Atlanta Street Tire Challenge in August... Then we'll be hitting it strong in 2012!!!!

Toe change is pretty negligible over the range of "normal" E36 ride heights. +/- 1/32" for a 2" change in ride height.
Camber gets more negative the lower the car is. I think (going from memory) my car gained 0.5 degrees of negative camber when I dropped the rear 1.25". Roughly. I can measure it next time I put the car on the alignment rack and give more accurate numbers.
