Is My Camber Good?

[R33GOD]

got my new tyres today and i got a printout of my camber settings. still standard suspension but just compressed springs.

they are at left 2.10 right 2.10

i do like to race at calder sometimes. is this camber pretty good for straight line runs or do i need ajustable camber arms??

i dont know much about this so any help would be much appreciated

I'm assuming rear if you're talking about straight line stuff? And no, that's not good for straight line grip, you will need to dial it out by a fair bit, 0.5deg would be more suited to your purpose.

Try the Whiteline adjustable arms, they're RRP is around $300, they've got a heap of adjustment and still use a bush instead of a spherical, so quite nice for a daily driver too.

are we talking front or rear?

wont u get shit camber wear if u have it setup for drag?

[limpus]

Front or rear? i take that thats -2 degrees camber...if its the front thats fine...if its the rear...say goodbye to the insides of your tyres...

[R33GOD]

yes its the rear.

problem should be solved next week. i ordered a set of jjr camber arms. gettin em put in along with a new clutch

If you put upper control arms in without adjusting the length of the traction arms it will bump steer something terrible. Which is arguably worse for traction than the excessive camber you currently have.

Traction arms?

What are these and where are they located?

They come off the top of the rear upright/hub at around 45 degrees forward.

i got the camber arms put in and ajusted and it definately has helped with some traction. i dont get wheelspin when i hit fulllboost in 1st

i got good tyres also so its obviously going to help.

we couldnt go any more on the camber due to the car being lowered and having 265's on the rear.

here are the settings now.

left -0.60 right -0.60
