Hey Fe1rx, great post, as an Engineer myself I love seeing data about things like this. The one question I have is how much track width does this add?

The reason I ask is I'd like to do this, but I also plan on doing coils/camber plates and want to squeeze as much tire (245 vs 235?) as possible, so my thinking is that camber angles being the same, this mod would actually decrease tire clearance to the fender, as the whole strut assembly would be farther outboard. My other option would be to replace the bushings in the arms and only adjust camber with the plates.

From your Ohlins thread, when using a 235/40 on the ET45 wheels, it looks there is more room between the strut and tire, and less between the tire and fender. So my thinking is a 245 would fit better with the OEM arms?

Secondary question is: Is static camber the only benefit to this mod, or does it help in dynamic conditions as well?
