Default How much did I gain?

I changed my springs today from ny stock NA springs to a set of 951 Springs... I know some of you are going to say i wasted my time... but I had a free day, and open lift, and a friend willing to help so I did it. My factory springs had 3 blue dots on them and the turbo springs had 2 yellow dots.

Secondly, How much camber can you get out of the factory camber adjustment??

Just to elaborate a little.. I looked in the FSM and when you convert the spring force they give you it comes out to be like 85 lb/in which is really really low, at least i think it is, and I was wondering if that's right or not

I'm assuming your re-aligned the car.

You can get about -4 to -5 degrees camber with the stock adjuster. For autocross, you pretty much want about -5 camber in front and a little toe-out in the rear, like 1/32" or so.
