Default How do you get more negative camber?

Have a 951S with the stock M030 suspension. How do you adjust/get more negative camber out of this setup?

Thanks!

There is an eccentric where the strut attaches to the spindle (the upper bolt, the lower is not an eccentric). Turning the eccentric will change camber.

With my old stock struts I could get ~-2.5 easily.

Find a good alignment shop in your area that knows 944s. They're worth their weight in gold.

Great, thanks. How do you get more negative camber on the rear suspension?

In the rear the bolt that hooks up the rear sway bay is an eccentric that does the rear camber.

You can get all you could ever want from this adjustment. I run -2.5 on my 944 spec car with -3.5 front. To get more than 2.5 up front you need camber plates.

I hate it when people say "search is your friend", but in this instance there is a really good thread somewhere that has great photo's with the relevent bolts highlighted.

Happy hunting.

Cool, thanks guys! I don't wanna run huge negative camber, but I would like to get at least -1.5 in the front and -1 in the back...
