Can't mount a strut wrong, I tried it, there is no way to logically **** that up... But found out the struts were on the correct sides cause of that. I have 0 or even .5 deg of positive camber also?? Strut mounts are mounted with arrow forward. The only other control arm with different geometry that can fit my car is the 96+ m3 and my wheel would be obviously forward. WTF is going on!. Maybe a bent control arm? Tomorrow i will measure them and compare. Do the 96+ strut mounts give more stacked height?

I want 1 deg of neg camber and added caster 6 deg. "stock" mounted 96+ strut mount

I am bashing the lower perch of the strut onto the body rear bottom of strut tower when suspension travel is greater than about 1.5 inches than ride high.
