I don't have any rear camber adjustment, so toe it is lol.
Based on my experience I think -4.1° front camber is quite a bit too much for track use, at least with increased power, although others may have different experience. I lost a lot of corner exit capability and also destroyed the inside of my tires at around -3.8° with ~370whp. I've now backed camber down to ~-2.8°. Curious how this one performs, although your spring rates are quite a bit lower than mine which may be a factor as well.We installed a whole bunch of suspension on our shop FL5. We were running on Eibach Sportline Springs for a bit while we got our suspension package in place.
You can find all the parts on our site which will be link embedded!
We can also have a custom packaged deal with a discount depending on options like the Sakebomb camber plates (we are official dealers for Sakebomb Garage/FPSpec), EDC canceller, helper spring upgrade, custom spring rates etc. PM for more information!
- Ohlins R&T (stock 6k/10k springs) and Ohlins helper springs upgrade
- Sakebomb Camber Plates/Top Hat
- Awaiting our Swift Springs 6" 6k springs to come in then we'll swap out the front springs (fine balance between aesthetics and track functionality; we're good with losing a little bit of compression travel for more lows and we can always raise it up for track days if needed)

- Whiteline Front Lower Camber Ball Joints
- Whiteline Front Sway Bar Endlinks

We set the front LBJ to max camber pin setting (-3*), upper strut guide pins were already removed previously on the old set up, and adjusted the upper camber plate to farthest out (no additional camber).
Eyeballed everything with regards to camber/toe/caster and went to our friends shop for the alignment rack. For being eyeballed, I think we did pretty good all things considered
Wanted at least -3.5* front and -2.5* rear camber, and this was initial reading.
Final reading:
Overall very happy with how it turned out! Once our Swift Springs come in, we may move the LBJ camber pin to the middle setting (-2*), then adjust from the top camber plate in order to reduce a little bit of the gained track width from camber adjustment from the LBJ as we're planning to run aggressive wheel specs and tire size once our shipment arrives! Also if you're in the North Texas DFW area, we can get all this installed and knocked out for you.
Yeah, it could be too much, but we'll see. Also driving style has a lot to do with it too. Our track Cayman we run -3.2⁰ and its right on the money, but its obviously not a FWD FL5. Although we're also trying to balance track function with TA style aesthetics too. Talking to Racebred right now
On a strut front RWD car I'd say -3° is probably the minimum, and I'd probably go more like -3.5° to -4°, but ya obviously there are much different dynamics on the FL5.Yeah, it could be too much, but we'll see.

Multiple adjustment options is never a bad thing. Also if you want to increase track width as a side-effect of the LBJ you can/will. Also the camber plates can also adjust caster independently so also another plus.
