Also -8 degrees is a ridiculous amount of camber. You should be aiming for something like -1.5ish front and -1.3 rear at most. Others will tell you to go higher... like a -1.3F and -1.0R. Look at it this way, the more negative you go, the more responsive and grippy the car is, but they will also wear out quicker. |

I remember some teams were running around +12 on the left front at Pocono a few years back. There were a lot of issues with blowing the left front out that year and it became a safety issue so the maximum camber when they came back was limited to +8 degrees. You just have to keep in mind that the whole idea of running any camber at all is to maximize the tire's contact patch while loaded in a corner. Most road course setups (and all street setups) are going to be symmetrical for the best 50/50 balance possible. However when you get into some more hardcore racing where you tweak the setup for each individual track, you start to see some asymmetrical setups show up.

i know that was a joke ![]() ![]() i am not that cynical or impractical............... ![]() but i was not referring to your post............... someone from this forum posted his/her after alignment camber specs and i was wondering why the numbers were different from the right side to the left. it would seem obvious to have the same spec on the same side for normal, daily driving.............. but i was just curious.... i guess getting a camber kit cannot go wrong........but it's additional $500 plus the installation (i do not have the balls to install it myself yet )not asking much, just wish i had about $20K for modding purposes....... damn, it's so hard to balance budget........ ![]() simply, there are tooooooooooooooooooo many mods........... and I AM no less greedy than most of us here.............
