70BB Convertible; frame-off put back together less full radiator, interior and top. I can push down on car and wheels straighten out. Obviously shims in upper arms will only make the setup worse. I rebuilt the front end and everything seemed to install without problems. However I reused the original springs of which I have no idea if they are correct. Can the springs impact the camber that much? I'm going to end up lowering the front end (and back too) so maybe I could experiment with the front springs now (cut a coil, test fit, cut another, test fit, etc...).... So do the springs change the camber. Thanks all, your input is greatly appreciated...

Ride height will affect camber, so yes, changing springs will affect camber if the different springs have different static ride heights.

Whenever you change the ride height it's always a good idea to check camber & toe. Caster will change too if you alter the front/rear rake of the car as it changes the spindle inclination.

Gokou - I'm not sure if I'm asking this correctly but do shorter springs make camber more negative? (move tops of tires inward)??

as you lower the front, the tires kick out at the top, + camber-then you have to add shims to push the control arm toward the engine to get the proper camber back(and all the other specs also)

If the bottom of tire is out more than the top it's positive; correct?

got it.....thanks.

No, or maybe I'm misunderstanding you - Looking from the front of the car, as if you were sitting on the ground staring at the grill:

/ \ Negative camber
\ / Posiive camber

The stock suspension geometry is bass-ackwards and the camber goes positive on compression.
