Rear beam modification

[compactkid]

Hi guys, I actually have an E36 Compact, but thought this would be the appropriate place to post.

I'm making modifications to add adjustability and strength into my rear beam, I've bought weld-in adjustment tabs with eccentric bolts for the trailing arms and I'm now wondering which bushes to fit.

I've seen the riser bushes and I'm wondering if these be needed as I have the adjustment tabs. What range of alignment are people seeing with eccentric bolts alone vs combined with raising the subframe?

The car is being used for track and drift, so I'd like to see 0 and negative static rear camber. It's also being ran quite low, so I'd like to see the roll centre benefits of raising the subframe, if it'll stay within the alignment range I want.

Thanks!

if you are already lowered, don't you have negative camber as it sits? generally, bmws already have negative camber when new, don't they?

I know anytime I lowered my e30s, you could tell the wheels were negatively cambered, a bunch. i never tried adding eccentrics or raising the rear subframe? that came around after i was auto crossing e30s so you will need someone who is more current to answer about that stuff.

Yes I have negative camber.

Like I said, I also want 0 and I want adjustability in it, not what I randomly have from lowering the car.

Ohh, ok. Maybe someone can help

I wonder if the track auto x and drag race forum might be more helpful?

Thank you, I'll try there!

or even installing the eccentrics and the tabs and than measuring what you need? that might end up being the way to go
