Looking for some inside secrets, black magic, motorhead mojo, on front end camber. I know our cars are a mixed bag in terms of what you can get in front. My '73 with the GPR/tarrott camber plates can get 2.4 neg on one side, only 1.8 on the other. The chassis measures out fine, no tweekage. It'd by nice to be able to equalize them both at around 2.5, or better still, 3.0, but how. I have no interest in taking this car to autocross nationals or get into hard core scca auto x stuff, just want to putter around and make a better local car, so bending the rules a little doesn't scare me, depending on how far the bend is.
So what do you all have, and how'd you get it? Anyone use an aftermarket bolt on camberplate like all the little ricer guys run? I've never seen one for our cars, but they don't look hard to make. I was wondering if one could be designed to hold the top strut bearing up over the plate, thus allowing: 1) a little more strut travel on lowered cars, and 2) if the bearing is up over the adjustable top plate, the strut could maybe "tip" more to the inside, as the slim diameter of the strut rod would be smaller than the bearing or strut tube, and could be tilted in, closer to the edge of the factory hole. I'm picturing something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Steeda-Cast...1QQcmdZViewItem |
