I installed a small 6 in my car yesterday and I noticed the car has more positive camber to the rear wheels than before the conversion. Is there an adjustment for camber? Ive yet to put on the axels, might that straighten it out?

Great info, much appreciated! Last thing, should the car be set up neutral or biased positive or negative? I've got new shims but want to get it close so I can drive it to get it aligned.

QUOTE(kconway @ Apr 2 2012, 05:53 AM)  Last thing, should the car be set up neutral or biased positive or negative? I would advise against a neutral or positive setup, even for a street driven car. Our cars benefit from negative camber. The max. you can get out of the stock setup is about -2 deg. in the rear. That would be running without any shims. However, for most street driven cars, this is too much. I think the sweet spot for a street setup is somewhere between -0.5 and -1 degrees. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |
