Max camber with camber bolts

[Alex__]

Got my car booked in at Blink motorsport to have more of a track setup put on the car, Im wanting to run -3 degrees camber on the front (currently running -1.5)

However Im wondering if it is a waste of time paying for the geo setup as I know there is a limit to how much neg camber the bolts can provide.

My car is on cooksport springs, with eibach camber bolts.

If im only going to gain half a degree or so, Im tempted to cancel the geo setup and wait till ive got coilovers.

Max matched for me was -2.5

Its normally -2.5 / -3.

It says on the box that they adjust -1.75 on top of what you have now.

Depends how bent your hubs are. For me I can go to 2.5 on one side and 3.5 on the other! 2.5 is the less bent side.

I can get over 5 degrees camber with camber bolts, although alot of my suspension isn't standard. AST's (with top mounts), RC kit etc

That's not just bolts then, that's including the adjustable top mounts.

I don't use the top mounts for camber. They are adjusted to give maximum castor

Ahh right, weird. Should be no way you could get -5 degrees of camber with just the bolts alone.

I can get 4.5deg with my asts and I don't have camber bolts. That's with pure motorsport fixed top mounts. I could probably get 5deg but the tyre touches the coilover

Found that my front camber was already maxed out at -2.25 degrees ensive: Not sure what my options are for being able to run more?

Wondering if it will help when I get coilovers fitted as the car will be sitting lower? Or is there anything else I can fit? Don't fancy paying a grand for PMS fully adjustable wishbones :neutral:

You could go with adjustable wishbone bushes from powerflex, but they are expensive and only give an extra 3/4 of a degree camber

Old thread bump...I have camber bolts fitted, the washer tab is at 3oclock position looking forward and have .50 a degree, I've been told they can't get more camber upfront, fitted with b14's and pms top mounts, all bushes/joints are new also, any ideas why we can't get to -1..5 camber?
