My car is dropped around 35mm front and 30mm rear, I was able to get it aligned within spec. The measurement most forget about and should care more for is Toe which creates dragging and extreme wear... camber is fine in the 2 degree range unless all one does is drive straight and never turns. Contact patch is secure.

The Verstappen's track monsters will chime in with their amazing track stories on OEM suspensions vs the ones modded here in this section (I dont track this car).
