Default c4 Camber -3

Can anyone post some photos of their front wishbone setup allowing for -2.5 to -3 front camber? I'm at -2.2 and still wearing the outside of my tires too much. I also would like to get the rear close to -2.0

Thanks

I got to 2.8 with offset lower bushings and no spacers on the top. Then went to the SPC adjustable arms. These cars can vary a lot!

I'm working on a 1990. I would like to grind down the spacers on the upper wishbone. Anyone have some picks or concerns?

You can use offset lower control arm bushings that move the lower ball joint outboard a little bit, and as a side benefit the delrin material is very smooth in rotation and virtually no deflection (less camber loss under cornering load)

That is what I do and you can get the conical spacer pretty thin. I use a bolt and nut adapted into my drill press to turn the spacer then hold a saw against it. Makes a decent cut that way!
