I am trying to reduce the front negative camber on my SCCA F prod car.
Currently the stock camber plate will only allow about 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 neg. I want to get closer to 1 deg neg. I looked at the Weltmiester billet alum camber plates and thought about reversing them side to side to create more positive or in my case less negative camber. Anybody have any ideas or solutions to my dilema.Any and all responses are greatly appreciated. |

Hmmmmm... something just occured to me.
Are you running torsion bars? If so, that reduces the benefit of the ground control camber plates since their "magic" is in how they support the spring load. Quote from Ground control website regarding their camber plates: "The Ground Control camber plates feature two sets of bearings, a proprietary bearing, made to our specs by Aurora in the USA, which allows for articulation of the shock shaft. This spherical bearing is very understressed, as the Ground Control design does NOT support the weight of the car on the spherical bearing. Instead, the weight of the car is supported by a completely separate articulating needle bearing, which is also manufactured for Ground Control in the USA." It still might be a good way to go. |
