Would anyone know what the difference in camber set up is front and rear from a standard Cupra and a Cupra R ? Reason I ask is from reviews the turn in seems to be sharper due to this and wanted to know if anyone has or could you get adjustable ones and set them to the same angle ?

-2.0 degrees front AND rear on the Cupra R ST.

-2.0 on the front of the R hatch. Not sure about the rear, think the hatch was same as stock.

Here we go, so this shows degrees and seconds(?):

So rears 'normal' range is -1° to -2° for a standard ST. So standard rear on an ST would be -1.5°

So fronts 'normal' range is -0° 17' to -1° 17'. That equates to @ -0.28° to -1.28°. So middle of that is -0.78°.

However as you can see mine has the front camber plates installed so is around -2.4° and the rear is set to -2°.

Is that for a 4x4 st ? As mine is a FWD 300 , also did it make a big difference....

I lowered the car at the same time, but the lowering and front camber plates made a massive difference. But then I felt the 4drive was lacking in the front end compared to my previous FWD.
