control arms

[yuhou411]

so you guys know how the rear tires are bent inwards? does this affect the handeling a lot? and does those adjustable control arms they sell relli help and is it worth it!!!

Are you talking camber issues? Well, to an extent, the more camber the better for handling, but bad for tire wear. Even lowered E36's can get very close to factory spec with the factory camber adjustments in the rear.

get an alignment and see if you have a problem.

Yeah, it's called negative camber and if you can get the front to look like that it is even better :-)

True, but it's a balance. On a car that likes to understeer like the E36, more negative camber in the front is good. On an oversteering car like a Vette, you want more negative camber in the rear.
