Need help for adjust camber and caster

I set up my FD for Drift. I set up camber at -2.2 degree and I can adjust caster maximum at 4.4 degree. I need more negative camber but i must sacrified my caster. Which way can i adjust my camber and can get STD caster.

I come from Thailand. Nice to meet everyone!!

In regards to the FD the two adjustments are related since they are both accomplished using the same eccentrics. The more negative camber you run, the less caster you're able to dial in.

If you need more than what's available now slot the holes in the subframe.

either have them made... pretty simple. or give up some caster for camber. i don't know anything about drifting but i do know that lots of caster jackes the front weight of the car laterally when you turn.

sit in a car w alot of caster. turn the wheel right to left and watch the fenders move up and down.

good luck,

Any secondary consequences to slotting? Slipage? Subframe weakening?
