KW V2 and Camber

jLona240 · 02-02-2022, 09:54 AM

Might be a dumb question but I'm new to the world of coilovers.

I'm waiting for my KW V2's to arrive and wondering if I can adjust the front camber at all when I install them.

I'm trying to accomplish 1.5 degrees of front negative camber but I really don't want to buy camber plates if I don't need to.

Sadly, our cars lack front camber adjustment from the factory. Vorschlag makes a kit to adapt their camber plates to KW coilovers. Beyond that, you're looking at SPL adjustable lower control arms, M3/M4 lower control arms, or Powerflex eccentric lower control arm bushings to get just a little bit more.

That much camber can only be achieved with adjustable camber plates. Let us know if you after Vorshlag.

SPL adjustable lower arms are a good option, but you will be widening the track width and lower the roll center and making other geometry changes. Leave that for a serious street and track car.
