Camber that is.

I have an 06 and want to know if there is an easy way of getting some negative camber up front.

Thanks

....and why do you need negative camber up front?

thespud · 08-31-2006, 10:29 AM

^^ Exactly what i was thinking. How much do you want is also another big question?

For handling.

A decent set of coilovers should have a camber adjustment up front.

bbsgarage · 08-31-2006, 11:01 AM

Why

you ask

I prefer the front end to pull me around the corner as opposed to the back end pushing me past it.

I'm looking for a simpler answer than coil overs, On my neon all it took was a couple of bolts and you got 1 to 1.5 degrees.

Your car will handle like shit with too much negative camber. especially up front, as you now only have partial contact with tires to pavement.

bbsgarage · 08-31-2006, 12:23 PM

so you think 1 to 1.5 degrees of neg. camber is too much?

freakinbox · 08-31-2006, 12:32 PM

plus on top of the camber messing the handling up it will also cause the tires to wear uneven

I would suggest ya'll do some reading on making FWD car handle.

I bet your quest for negative camber isnt gonna make a positive improvement, atleast in this equation, but then again what do I know, supposedly I'm an asshole, a dumbass, and i dont know shit.

bbsgarage · 08-31-2006, 02:49 PM

Just what is the "equation" I asked a simple question that has yet to be answered.

That adjusting the camber wont do much handling wise. Street isnt a race track and race track tuning wont work too well on the street.
As for your answer, no its not a simple thing, easiest way for you to get negative camber is to get lowerng springs. McPherson suspension will get negative camber as its lowered.

an just as a little note, bbs, don't be such an ass k? you don't ask someone for advice and then start acting like you know more than them because they didn't give you one straight answer. u wanted one thing, they advised you not to do it, you can still get your answer without being a smartass...

***REN69*** · 08-31-2006, 08:05 PM

Lemme guess.. you saw the super touring cars and their tuning style.. and you thought.. hey why not!

I agree Street and Track are two different things! they don't mix.

bbsgarage · 09-01-2006, 06:59 AM

I didnt ask for advice on what I wanted to do, I asked how to do something.
I know what I want and what works, and old wives tales are not going to change that.

And how am I being a J-A ? I ask a question, basically told I'm stupid for asking and somehow I'm the bad guy ?
