  1. In most cases legal = sensible. If the certifier doesn't like what they see you will fail, end of story.

    The most I'd run on a "road car" would about -4 camber, and even that is excessive for most road driving. Are you trying to make something that looks sweet but handles like a sack of knobs? Because going around corners (fast) and making it from A to B without getting beached is kind of the bonus of having a car on the road.

  2. Yes, I had issues with the mount ripping out after we slammed the car + lifted the front mount up a notch. The mounts were only stitched onto the floorpan and centre brace of the chassis. To stop that they really need to be tied straight back to the rear somehow. Mine now has a brace between the two links and two more back to the rear well, along with strengthening plates. I'd say yours would benefit from similar treatment to make sure it won't tramp or tweak anything.

  3. Yes, sounds like you need to replace that cylinder.

    Being an E21 the bushes will have gone soft and the shocks will be worn. Fit new shocks and bushes all round (along with some lowered springs) to solve all of lifes problems.

  4. Up and down through the arc and side to side articulation. You want to be able to have one side at bump stop height and the other at full droop, otherwise you're getting bind and unpredictable things will happen + you're more likely to rip mounts out.

    So it will do this shit from side to side without binding up.

    Ideal 4-link is parallel like d.p.n.s's
