Camber

[EKam]

OMG, I just found out that my camber setting for the front is -2 and -1.7

Now who suggest me to get a camber kit? Or is it still ok for me not to get it?

[DS - TTCC]

Who told you that? If they are both the same, it's not too big of a deal. Your tires will wear a little quicker to the inside, but not too bad. Do they make a camber kit for the Gen3? Who?

[EKam]

I got the computer readings from alignment shop.

I know it wears more on the inside but how bad exactly will it be for -1.7 ~ -2 ?

[Phi]

How bad are those numbers in relative terms? How is the wear pattern now?

[EKam]

Default should be -0.56 and I don't see noticable wear yet *fingers crossed*.

do i sense sarcasm? :smile: -1.7 and -2.0 is good..for the track hehe. but i dunno why it's uneven? that's odd. but yea, tire wear will be occuring on the inside more than anything. no biggie, any lowered car will have more negative chamber...as long as ur not getting some crazy numbers like -4!!

[bondobondo]

it is probably the same or the change in either side is so minute it is insignificant.

the laser machines for alignments are so sensitive now, camber changes when you are in and out of the car. not to mention toe changing with the angle of the tierod end..

+/- 0.3 degrees is pretty negligible for camber......

don't take those readouts too seriously, i would put money that if he mounted your car 2x in teh same day, both readouts would differ from one another.

[EKam]

Yea, I didn't even know if he did the alignment with a person in the car or not.

Oh well if those numbers are alright I'm a happy camper. Track oh yea baby...

EIGHT DEGREES?! arent u losing traction instead of gaining then? i doubt ur suspension is gonna flex that much :smile: but koool if u can get it to slide more easily!! hoho

You may doubt it, but if you look at it, you'll see that it does flex. It sits out a very good deal, which is very noticable.

wow it flexes so much that u get a full contact patch when u corner with ur 8 degrees of chamber? that is some major flexing :smile:

[fatredcircle]
