H&R Sport Springs or Race Springs?
 
I just bought Bilstein Sport shocks and I don't know if I want the H&R Sports or Race springs. I am a monthly autocrosser and I live in MA. If i get the race springs will I have too much camber?

I have that same setup, my rear alignment is pretty messed up, cambers not terrible but I do have quite a bit of toe-in on the back, no problems with it so far but it will wear tires prematurely

Sorry it took so long for me to respond... 4th weekend. I'm thinking i'm going to get that set up, is there anything i can do about the camber or toe? Or do i just have to live with it?

There are offset bushings and a kit to put adjustable mounts on the rear subframe. You have to cut up the subframe to do the latter.

Really? Thank you I will look those up. Are you talking about rear trailing arm offsets? I have offsets up front and i didn't know that they made them for the rear.

You'll have a lot more neg camber in the rear with the race springs than with the sports. e30tech.com has a whole forum dedicated to the rear suspension on our cars and there are a few detailed installs on there of the weld on alignment adjusters.

I remember reading that one of the two, toe or camber, couldn't be adjusted all that much with the weld on kit.

Also, I don't recommend bilsteins on our tis, they don't seem to be valved properly and if I could I'd go with Koni adjustables. TC Kline has a koni street kit that is pretty fairly priced.
