Hi guys,

I would just like to confirm if negative -3camber is the most you can get out from stock.

Or is it -4 ?

thanks

That'll at least be partially dependant on the ride height of the car. The lower you go the more camber you should be able to get.

 

...and the less dynamic camber gain you'll have.

 

stock -2 is the max i think. i aligned mine myself after i put my coils on but i didnt go too crazy im around 1-1.5. i didnt have to add much after the drop you might be able to get -3 or even 4 but why you would want to dont know. at least not that much

 

Doesn't the maximum camber attainable in front also depend partially on the amount of caster being run?

 

thanks guys.

 

I got about -4 on mine, but I am low for a FD.

 

I can't think of any applications where you should need 4 degrees of camber.

 

If this is going to be a time attack car, there is no reason to go that much. On the Star Mazda cars, we generally run about -.5 to -1 just enough to free the car up so it does not bind while putting the power down on exit. -4 and you will not be able to turn the thing.

Just my $0.02

 

I'm thinking this is for "fittng" wheels on a car hopefully I'm wrong.

 

Maybe for a strut car with lots of body roll, but chances are that you'd still not need that much.

 

on an fd/rx8/miata yes thats right. maximum camber depends on the car, and the year. they seem to vary a little, and 94+ fd's have different hubs. they added caster, so you can get more caster and more negative camber.

 

^^^Seems a more likely source would be the upright change that went to the end of production.

 

whats all this negative camber for? -4? Sounds crazy

 

Extremly poor fitting wheels (function following form in this case). Unfortunatley I was correct the first time I said this. Not my tatse, but nice clean car otherwise.

..another question guys..


^^ Why would these Pillow ***** give more camber than the stock ones?

Because they have more turn in?

And where do they fit?

I didnt know that just by upgrading to these you could get more camber out of than stock.

Offset bushings move the inner pivot point, which is the same thing that the alignment cam bolts do. This in turn moves the outer pivot points, which changes the camber.
