F22: will caster bushings give enough camber-in-corners for track use?
I recently purchased a 228i and am setting it up for AX and occasional HPDE track use. The plan is to invest and progress in stages.
Starting point will include M-sport brake upgrade and 20mm lower spring/shock set, not full coil-over invest yet. I would like to avoid caster/camber plates for step 1 (keeping in a lower AX class) My question: does anyone know if adding 2-3 deg caster with caster bushings would add enough camber in corner for spirited HPDE track use without heavy excessive outside edge tire wear? And/or create poor handling on track? thanks! |

No, not really. You will get better camber gain, but more is needed to keep the tire upright in the turns.
Even cars with 7+ of caster are still running 3+ of camber, depending on the setup. |
