    Is your car lowered at all? You can get additional camber if the car is lowered. A friend got close to -2.5 deg on 430 by removing the shims on the upper control arms and shimming the lower control arms. But his car is lowered a bit.

    Hmmmmm, I was wondering if the Scud has different geo to allow for more camber easily. I also have a 2005.

    I just got the car aligned with shims and achieved 2.4 degrees in the rear, but the fronts are only at about 1.7 degrees. I’d like to run between 2.5 and 3 degrees front and 2 - 2.5 degrees rear. I am trying to figure out the easiest way to get there…perhaps the challenge LCA rod? Does anyone have a part number?

    Without additional hardware or scud arms (guessing? ) you will not going to get close to -3 on the fronts; from what I see on my car...

    I see, I am lowered very slightly about 1/2" from my measurements (by previous owner) . I also got over -2 by doing that... Can't remember if I am close to 2.5 or 2.2 will measure...

    I don’t have the part number, but you can find the parts on euro spares.

    Found it, but are we 100% that the challenge threaded rod:
    A) is longer than standard F430
    B) will fit on standard F430 chassis
