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.  |
