Xmas Eve: Norm Loves Camber

[Mr. White]

So Norm came round today to fit my Konigsports and AST topmounts...

Norm wanted to see what max camber looks like:

Then Norm went home but not wanting to mess up his mrs seats I wrapped him

Its now at this height with reduced camber:

but scrubs on full lock so might have to remove the liners, otherwise its f**king mint drive!

 

[Fletcher]

It looks great in the first pic.

 

[Mr. White]

forgot to mention the fail after one side was done:

still slots together alright tho :rasp:

 

[Fletcher]

Ouch.

My CF splitter is in two pieces now aswell.

 

[Amy]

yeah, looks mint in the first!

 

[Mr. White]

looks mint but undrivable as I couldn't get it off my drive :rasp:

cheers tho

 

[mini-valver]

Looks mint!! What are the topmounts like? PMSL at cling film Norman, looks like a massive caterpiller!

 

[Mr. White]

mint mate! I've set them for castor over camber now as Curtis said on a road car it'll be better.

Can still adjust camber on the elongated holes anyway

 

[Whiteley]

Loved the plate since I saw it!

[Pep]

That looks amazing!
I would swap my car for a mint 172 cup tomorrow, wish i bought one.

 

[Middo]

looks funky with the camber, and having seen the topmounts i now need a set

 

[Tigger]

1st shot is amazing stance-wise. pity about the splitter though

 

[Dafthead]

What does having that much camber offer? Sorry I am a n00b

 

[Marky_]

Very mean. Nice one lads!

 

[Mr. White]

^^ cheers

arch liners modified/out tomorrow

 

[Gray]

Any photos on the new top mounts Whitey?

What are you views on them, good bit of kit?

 

[Dafthead]

Check this dude's camber out, looks like his suspension has collaped :S WTF

I still don't understand what this does? Surely having less rubber in contact with the road is a bad thing? and in the wet the tyre can't do what it's supposed to do? i.e. channel water away from the contact patches?

[Ali]

[Slammed172]

Basically mate running say 0 degree camber, under fast cornering the car leans, taking part of the tyre off the road, less rubber = less grip!

So giving it some (iirc) negative camber, in a straight line yes there is slightly less tyre on the road but under cornering you will get the whole or more of the tyre on the road, more rubber = more grip

Thats just a basic way of putting it mate.

they are fuckin quality items as norm said mate, I have sorted out my liners today and took middo out for a quick drive...

I have mine set to castor over camber as I have enough from the bolts, the turn in is mint and I love it

well worth the money imo

 

[Mr. White]

Thats seriously low, any full pics of current set up ?

will sort some tomorrow possibly

 

[Mr. White]

New "usable" ride height

 

[CrippsCorner]

Holy s**t that's low.

Would be worth loosing the splitter to get it looking that good :star:
