It's not huge, but it's more than tiny. Ride height makes a considerable difference, which is one reason why different people get different results from the M3 arms.

Like I said before, they adjusted front camber to the max mechanical setting.

On a bone stock 1 series camber is not adjustable. It's locked in place by the pin.
And there's a fair variation from car to car. Another reason why different people get different results.
All in all camber varies enormously from car to car. Other people's experiences may not be relevant to you. Experience about the effects of a particular mod are only precisely relevant if everything else about the two cars is identical, including the production dimensions. Not very likely. |
Great info, thanks.
Just driving up to the track I feel a noticeably difference, so hopefully it can be felt even more so while actually out there.
