[s-cars] Bilstein Sports Installed

[Mark Pollan]

Knowing Igor he did 4mm for a reason.  Two thoughts:  1)  That amount of
offset was all he needed to get into spec.  2)  That is the max amount he
could offset without interference from the curvature of the fender.  Do you
recall if clearance was tight?

 

 

Regards,

 

Mark

Mark,

I think what you are asking is if you move the top strut mount 4mm how much
does this change the camber? I am interested in this as well as I need to do
some more drilling and slotting of holes. Or do I take it back apart and do
the Igor mod again - strut mount is looking like a piece of swiss cheese!!

 

I think you could easily test this yourself by simply moving the top mount
4mm inward (or any know distance and direction for that matter) and measure
camber before and after.  This would give you the delta for a 4mm change. I
should probably do this since my alignment is a screwed up anyway.

 

When doing the Igor mod I should have done the most offset possible (not
sure what this number is though) this way I would hopefully have some
additional adjustment for future wear if needed.  If you do the max offset
allowed by the Igor mod then you will always have enough adjustment in the
negative camber direction so why not go as far as possible in the positive
camber direction.

All I know is that my ECS plates are almost maxed out. Doesn't sound to me

like 4 mm will do it. Same spring, shock combo.

Russ, et.al.:

Regarding the "Igor Offset", I too have a question on that specific area. 
After extending the slot on the camber plates I am still at -1.3.  I need to
pull her apart and do the Igor mod but want to ensure that 4mm offset is
enough to get me in and around -0.50.  Given our geometry with 
Bilstein/Eibach set-up, what does a 4mm move translate to in degrees?

If'n nobody knows, can someone perhaps illuminate just how I could make that
determination myself?

Regards,

Mark

All,
Thanks for the help.

I got my car put back together last night although still need to do an 
alignment. I am going to do a homebrew alignment to get it close. I am
using a set of those laser levels to shoot laser dot onto wall.  We will
see how it works.

Anyway I still don't have enough camber adjustment on right side even 
after doing the Igor 4mm offset - should have done 5 or 6 mm offset??
As far a drop I have right at 362mm rear and 368mm drivers front and
380mm pass front.   The front right is almost 0.5inch higher than front
left??  Not sure what is going on there.  It looks like I will need the
10mm spacer after all. Anyone know what could cause the front right to
be so high?
