Slap me if this has been covered already - searched and couldn't find.

I want to autocross my MS3 using R-compound tires, specifically, Hoosier A6's. My experience with Hoosier R6's is that they want a LOT of negative camber. But, this was with a RWD car.

This is my first FWD car. Is negative camber on the front as useful here as it is on RWD?

Have looked for performance parts, and all I see are KMac camber plates - which I've used in the past and was not happy with (not well made). Any other options?

Anyone else autox'ing with r-compounds? What tire brand, camber, etc?
tia,
Joe

As I alluded to in my post of one of the other forums, I'd attempt to get as much front negative camber as possible on this car, regardless of your tire compound.

I haven't run R-comps on the MS3 yet, so I can't recommend anything based on experience with this platform...

Apparently the BC coilovers come with an adjustable camber plate but I'm currently in the process of finding more information on them. I'll let you know what I can find

Yeah, you can get the adjustable plates as an option with the BCs, though I usually steer clear of recommending the BCs since I don't know whether or not the fact that they come with plates should be enough of a reason to buy them...I'm not incredibly impressed with the spring rates that they chose or the fact that they're only rebound adjustable (using the inferior-in-my-eyes "clicking" type adjusters, no less).

It'd be nice if the MS coilovers came with an adjustable plate option...
