Default Is K-member and Lowers engough for -2.5 camber?

I already purchased BMR stuff and have it sitting in my garage for the last 5 months. Please no flames on this since not using the stuff is not an option.

Anyway, I have a new BMR K-member, adjustable lowers and fixed poly uppers. I can exchange my fixed uppers for a set of adjustable uppers if need be. They are a LOT more $$$.

THe question I have is will I be able to get -2.5 of camber out of a new k-member and the lowers??? The holes in the k-member are .25" longer than stock. I currently only can get -.8 camber with the stock stuff.

I have to decide soon because I have to make the exchange before the engine gets swapped.
Thanks for the info.

Take some measurements for me:

Distance on K Frame from outermost LCA Slot, to the other outermost LCA Slot

Legth of the front arm of the Lower Arm from the bushing or rod end center to the center of ball joint

I can tell you from there

Thanks guys. I ordered the adjustable uppers yesterday.
Looks like I will be trying to unload the K-member and fixed uppers.

why unload the K-member? I like the k-member and adjustable upper will do it! At least I hope as I will buy them soon!

Depends on whether the holes are the same distance apart.

I can get more then -2 camber easily, but my car is lowered too, so that doesn't help you.

If the space between the holes is wider than stock, then that will tell you how much more you can kick out the bottom of the tires....
