How to alter camber of car?

I want to give my street cars abit more camber (not as crazy as some of the enthusiasts in japan) to give them a more aggressive...

The camber dialed into the 911 GT2 Taisan starcard/ mercedes CLK DTM
is sort of the degree of camber that i want?

any hints?

A badass suggestion would be to create a working suspension out of metal and screws and hinges so you can have adjustable camber settings. But, in reality you can maybe cut off then reglue the wheel peg at an angle; which is rather tricky to pull off. Best of luck in any case.

In principle, in order to dial in some negative camber (I'm assuming this is what you're after) you need to either move the top ends of the struts closer together or move the lower ends further apart. Imo, the first option is easier, though sometimes the wheen might become too tucked in. Anyway, just find a way to move the mounting points of the top of the struts closer together. Be creative!

my advise would be to heat bend a mounting point for the wheel. This may not work for your car though.

definitely

GOOD IDEA!!!
I think ill heat and then MASH the top mounts for the wheels in a bit...

so it will force the camber.

muahahahhha

You do that. But when you break it, don't say you weren't given a better alternative. It's not that hard to drill another hole for the top of the strut.
