Hi guys

had my Tein SS coilovers installed for some time (39,000kms). Theyve been fantastic and the evo has been handling great. My alignment values are all normal etc.

The other day it occurred to me my coilovers are mounted oriented differently to someone elses...I want to check this is OK. I believe they were setup like this to get some partial castor adjust as well as camber adjust, and overall its successful (identical front camber values and both front castor set to 4.3-4.5deg).




is this right? or is it really wrong ..if so how do I fix?
by comparison, here is how another one is mounted (purely for camber adjust I assume?)

update: spoke to the suspension tuners who advised we used a combination of lower eccentric bolts and the strut tops to increase and equalise castor while allow for some additional negative camber.
the other way of doing it was to use the strut tops in their 'normal' position (to adjust camber) but we wanted to adjust castor as well and had other means to achieve the camber adjust.

 

I have never ever seen a camber plate set up like that.

 

I have seen them set up like that to increase caster before, no a big deal I prefer more caster, so as long as you can reach the desired alignment settings I would leave it.
