This winter I installed Koni Adj strut inserts in the front, and just left the alignment settings where they were at.
I borrowed a buddy's Camber/Caster gauge and decided to fine tune things today. Started out putting 185lbs in the drivers seat. (my weight) and then set the ride height all around. putting the front A-arms at level. Then went about checking the Camber. on the front they were only slightly different, So I set them both at -3 deg camber. Caster seemed OK at 6 deg. so I left it there. Rear camber is -2.5 deg (2. 30min?) on the right and -2.62 (2.37min) left. I really don't want to mess with this. It seems to handle pretty good. Is that too much front camber for a street car? I'm not really too worried about tire wear. ![]() |

I have the same widths and don’t run that much camber on the race car. It is indeed a lot. I bet you will find turn in quicker and responsiveness better and you willhave a larger tire contact patch. With that much camber you are reducing how much of the tire you are using. You may have to get used to it as it may feel a little more darty but trust me that you should really max out at about 2 for street driving and even that is aggressive.
