I'm not sure how many people have tried pushing more camber from their coils, but I hope this helps
I've been trying to figure out how to get more than -2.5 degrees on bc coils for the front struts, as many know, any coils for the hatchback(except type r) do NOT have extended camber plates and have a max range of around -2.5. I bought extended camber plates from lowlife projects on Instagram, after an easy install, I can say I'm very happy with how this worked out. I've been trying to match rear camber for the longest time and I've basically achieved that, maybe even more camber on the fronts than the rear, I'm ballpark guessing -4 on the front and -3.5 in the rear.
I did run into some trouble once I drove it home, driver side tire is rubbing against the frame on full lock right turns, threw on a 5mm spacer and that seems to have solved the issue. I will be going a different brand tire as continentals run bigger, hopefully fixing the problem for good
I do hear some other sounds but I think those have been there, I'll update soon.
alignment will be trashed if anyone does this.
the driving feels amazing though, It takes turns incredibly well, granted you also have upgraded spring rate and wheels/tires.
for reference, I'm currently 18x9.5 +33(fronts) +38(rear) on a 265/35 continental extreme contact sport(because of the rubbing issue, I'll most likely go advan apex 265/35 next as they run a bit smaller.)
