Camber?????

Ok, i went to get my car aligned and they told me they could only get -.4 in the front.. And i heard of people running up to -2... So What is the trick????? do you just use the stut assembly to adjust at the 2 bolts below the spring???? Cause that is how he was doing it.. And i have never aligned a car..


Here are the settings i am thinking of running.

-2 Front
-.5 Rear
1mm toe-in front
0 toe rear


I was thinking of maybe going down to a -1.5 in front rather then a full 2*..


Opinions and help?? Yes i know it will eat my tires

Thanks,
-Zach

Problem with the front camber is that the Evo comes with a flat sided eccentric bolt, which has only two possible settings. Supposed to be -1 and -2 degrees, but really ends up being ~-.75 and ~-1.5 or so. Any more will require mods or camber plates.

The rest of your alignment looks good though.

Here were my results: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...threadid=28038

You need 0 toe both front and back.

The bottom line is the the camber bolt setting in the front is a crap shoot. I think my results were better than most as far as getting so close to -2.0. The rear is tricky because the toe changes as the camber change so it takes a while to get it right.

Good luck and you will really enjoy it with more camber up front.

EDIT: Jump on http://www.mitsubi****echinfo.com/ before they start charging and print out pages 33A-7, 33A-8, 34-6 and 34-7. Then take that with you to the shop.

Ok, redid the alignment today.. kinda hard to get the negative camber up front.. I could hit ~2.1 before tightening the bolts down..


But after tight got -1.6 drivers side -1.7 passanger side.

0 toe all around and -.6 and -.7 rear camber.. would have like less on the rear but he was done with that when i showed up.. and i helped with the front to get it right.. You really need someone pushing in on the tire/hub when you tighten the bolts back down.

That's excalty what happened to me.

After tightening the bolt I was only able to get -1.5 (with the driver) on both sides. 0 toe all around.
