Age old question of M3 front suspension. Need help with calculation.
I am in the hunt for more negative camber up front without getting aftermarket suspension nor camber plates. This is my idea, see if you can help me.
My ZHP will be due for a suspension refresh soon so I will be changing most of these components anyways.
From everything I was able to read, in order to install front M3 suspension on a ZHP you need the following. Control arms, spindles, tie rod assemblies and brakes. Front what I can gather, I can reuse the strut and spring setup from ZHP on M3 spindle. This is where I want to gain my camber.
By installing the M3 control arms and spindles, I will widen the track of my ZHP by 18.7mm combined(difference between M3 and ZHP track), so around 9.35mm on each side. This will push the bottom of the wheel out which adds camber. I did some rough measurements and I need help from people that know math formulas.
Strut and wheel assembly is 34" tall, if with "x" measurement you get 0.75 degree negative camber, what would be the camber if you add 9.35mm to "x" measurement? I just need a rough calculation to see if this is worth my time.

Below is my alignment settings after doing my own camber. I knocked the front pin out of the front strut and maxed out both sides. My alignment guy added more toe in that I wanted but said it would help with tire wear because at that toe in angle, the outside which is higher then the inside tire, will scrub evenly.
I have max OEM camber with the rear and my alignment guy adjusted toe in to handle the amount of camber to help with the scrub.
My car rolls and rolls really good. And I've had a 3,000 km road trip and a 1,000km road trip along with daily driving and the tires seem pretty even.
The reason I maxed out rear camber was to keep the weight off the outside of the tires where I had some excessive tread wear from before just to give my rear tires a bit longer life before replacing.
