Camber

[Carlos Fandango]

If the Cup Racer runs 4.5 degrees of negative camber and 0 toe all round then wouldn't it equate that you'd run say 3 degrees and 0 toe all round for a fast road/track day car?

 

[Fred@BTM]

complete personal choice, there's no "set" amount (plus you'll find that would be the max the cup racers could run, they more than likley ran different amounts side to side and different setups for different circuits)



i run more rear than i do front, but it suits me

 

[Seriosha]

3 Degrees is already pretty much, so for Track and the way there its OK, but in normal use on normal roads it will exhaut you.... jumping after the drivelanes on the road FTL.

It's a very personal thing,so it's very hard to say what is good and what is bad.But like Fred more on the back suits me too.

Why?

 

[Fred@BTM]

IMO it makes the back end a bit more adjustable, you can lean on it fine, but if you want it to "dance" about that can be arranged via steering input

Slightly unstable-loose but predictably so

i run 7 degree's on the front, but im not n0rmal

 

[Tony Hunter]

Minus 7 deg,that is a lot.What about tyres?

 

[jon_r]

I'd imagine they'd last about 750 miles if it were true.

 

[Nick r26r]

must eat tyres to bits running that , i was thinking about going 3 but would be no good for road and would eat the tyres

 

[Hutchie]

feel free to come and measure.

and it kinda chews away at the inside of the tyre, i must get my coiles sorted then i only run -3 lol

Mmm, sounds interesting.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Hutchie have you got longer ball joints to get that amount?

 

[Aron]

You see im more one for more camber upfront. For me it just seems to let you play with the back a little more when needed but im a strange driver.

By the looks of it Tony he must be running fair size spacers to push the wheel that far out and off the strut

custom shockers with leda ecentric (sp) nuts

with 25mm spacers, for the stance, not for clearance issues.

i had the spacers for when i first rep'd the car. the wheels were hidden in the sport arches on 1.2 running gear. when i converted to the 172 setup i just kept using the spacers, car handles nice so its just stayed.
