how much camber are you running?

just curious how much camber other drifters are running, front and back. i have no camber adjustment for my rear wheels but i can say it's quite noticable from behind and the front is set pretty aggresive but nothing major. a little negative of the X in the Megan street series coilovers camber plates. wish i had actual numbers but i lost my sheet.

U know, i was reading somewhere that the best way to dial in your front camber is doing both wheels lock to lock and taking measurements that way.

I just want my toe zeroed out front and rear after mine is set where i like it. I'm going to need heaps up front just to tuck my wheels.

Word, I found a little more rear camber is better for me. I just remove rear camber till I get even wear across the tire. Using camber to fit wheels is the stupidest idea I've ever heard of.

I have a smidge in the rear. Probably somewhere between 1 and 1.5* I wish i could get it closer to zero but my rear camber arm is as short is it can go. Need individual links now.

I've maxed out camber up front on my jic's and i'm pretty dumped. Probably a bit more than 3* I can remove a little bit but i want to see how it's set up now works for me.

Like said above. You run enough to zero it out while turning.

I'm running maxxed to the stock strut towers with Ksports. I'm probably around 1.5-2 degrees.

I may oval out a bit of my top strut bolt holes to give me a hair more camber
