wheels camber!?

[Šįk]

can some tell me the advantages and whats the best to have for setup? i think it looks smart on low car with a big camber although i guess it wears tyres out like hell!?

can people tell me abit about it and whats best!?

 

[DannyR]

Depends what your main car use is?

I use mine on the road but setup for road and track running about -1 degree

 

[Šįk]

well this is the aim... this look im after to me this is the sex!



no idea what degree it would be... i would be using for fast road use and the odd track days. but i also want the look to look extra mean which i think i have achieved in this PS i have done above.

whats the max degree you could go but still have great grip etc etc?

thanks.

Lol...tad excessive..you will be replacing tyres every 2 seconds.

 

[Šįk]

lol hehe... any idea on the most practicle degree? 5-degree?

 

[Šįk]

also i assume this is all done with coilovers?

IIRC, -2 or -3 is the max sensible for road use. Needs camber bolts/adjustable top mounts for the front, and shims for the rear.

 

[Šįk]

oright -3 it would be then LOL! Any idea on were a good place to buy the extra camber parts from?

renault sport. Does anyone know if the 197 rear shims will fit onto a 182 rear axle?

 

[Firas]

[Cooksport]

do you just want the camber for the look?

I wouldnt bother changing the rear unless its a track car

cookie - you have me thinking now... need to see if a set of the 197 race car shims fit

well mainly for looks [60%], i do really want a mean looking stance. but i do use the car for fast road use alot [40%](when safe), havent been on a track yet but i can see me doing a few later this year tbh....

[172Ben]

No mate, low on the back aswell

 

[Šįk]

oryt sorry, nice stance mind! u should fit 15mm spacers! [for wider track 'n' better stance]

what " are the wheels n what drop u got!?

 

[172Ben]

pro race 1.2's mate. No idea on drop, but im duessing around 60mm

 

[d4ve86]

rear camber is about -ve1.30 degrees as standard, needs proper shims from the race car to make any difference

i have rear shims, 1 for camber and 1 for toe,

also D4ve your car ... iv fell in love! beautiful!!

just to be sure, it is possible to fit spacers aswell as all the gear for camber ist it!?

thanks!

 

[d4ve86]

yeah you can, the more camber you have the more you could space the wheel out because the top of the wheel tips inside the arch (in theory i think, never run spacers on my 182)

 

[Šįk]

...you should considr it...



:approve:

 

[172Ben]

Do you get and problems with rubbing on the rear with spacers?

As im thinking of 10mm or 15mm all round

 

[Šįk]

i woudnt of thought so but yea 15mm spacers ftw!!!

 

[Šįk]

if wheels/tyres stick out further thn the arches would i...

-get pulled by police about or
-just fail when it comes to MOT time?

 

[Šįk]

D4ve, how do find the wear on your front tyres since u have -2.5 camber?

 

[BIFCAIDS]

rear camber on that RB looks like what mine has standard (lowered on coilovers n i want more)
