Q
2000 Z3 rear camber adjustment part #192026
I have 2 questions about this rear camber kit:
1. How does it affect the track?
2. What is the camber adjustment range?
I am considering this purchase for the purpose of increasing tire life.
A
The rear camber bushing kits will not appreciably affect the rear track width. However, in reducing the negative camber (for better tire wear), the top of the tire will move more outboard, by a small amount (closer to the upper lip of the wheel opening). If you are running a larger than stock wheel/tire set-up that is very close to the fender lip, reducing the negative camber could potentially cause the tire to interfere with the inside of the fender lip.
The camber adjustment range on the kit for the Z3 (which also fits the E30 3-series, E36 318ti, 2002, E21, E12, E23, Bavaria, CS and E24 and E28 through 82) is about 1.5 degrees in either direction (+/-) from the stock position. Note that the camber kit for the above noted applications will also allow rear toe adjustment. For best tire wear on a standard street car, we typically recommend about 1/4 to 1/2 degree negative camber and the BMW factory toe setting.
