Doing some "work" to get more negative camber up front ...but now trying to decide entirre set up....Been so long since had this done I am forgetting.
RA1, 16 X 225 50 w/ 7.5" wheels front
Ditto 16 x 225 45 w/ 8.5 rear
Shooting for 2 1/2 negative up front
What should I do @ the rear.
Mainly DE/track but some autocrossing.
Prefer to compromise ax set-up as opposed to track. 2.7 at this time if it matters.
Thank for the help
Terry

Negative camber settings are a function of driver aggression, tire construction, and the rest of the suspension set up. When I was running my relatively softly sprung 914-4 on Hoosiers, I had -4 degrees of front camber and tire temps said I needed more. Keeping the car flatter would have reduced the need for more camber.

For the rear, I pulled all the shims out and ran it. At the ride height I was at, that was 2.5 degrees in the rear and tire temps indicated that was about right.

My car was stock front T-bars, 22mm front sway bar set most of the way stiff, 200lb/in rear springs and 225/45/15s all the way around.

I detect some B Roberts BS here.

Testing by GRM some years back showed that camber in excess of -3.5 degrees resulted in loss of braking performance to the detriment of AX times.... In other words, the test drivers started going slower. Those drivers were no slouches.
