Camber HELP! - ANYONE!!!
Hi Everyone -
I'm trying to run some negative camber on the following set up: 17x10 +25 5zigen FN01R-C -all around- Tein H-Tech Springs 245/45/17 RE01R's Fender Rolled the back Do I need camber bolts in order to run some negative camber on the rear/front? I have absolutely no clue on anything that has to do with cambers; so ANY help will be greatly appreciated. BTW - Wheel/Tire set up already clears the fenders by less than half an inch. I will be doing Autocross every other week. Thanks everyone in advance!!! |
Camber is set at the hub.
Take it to an alignment shop: You have camber bolts up front and more adjustable camber in the rear. Set the camber bolts up front to the -2 position, zero out the tow. Set the rear camber to -1.4 to -1.6 and zero out the tow. |

When you say I have camber bolts up front - you mean its a stock?
there's only 2 positions loosen the nut pull the bolt out then rotate it. |
That^
|
When you set camber to the max position this will bring the tire/wheel closer to the strut/spring. Make sure you check the clearance there after making the adjustment.

Thanks a lot everyone!!! i will definitely check the clearance... specially with the 17x10 +25...

Yes, the front enters into the corner and will need more camber as the car leans with the turn. That forces the tire contact patch to plain out. So you run more camber up front and as the tire angle to ground becomes more vertical the contact patch will increase.

im currently at the alignment shop and they put the -1.6 and 0 toe at the rear... the front is giving us some problems... the front left is closer to -2.3 and 0 toe and the front right is staying at -1.9 and 0 toe... any idea why? And if we cant adjust that is it goin to mess me up too much... |
The fronts can only be adjusted in ranges. Make sure the bolts are both pointing in the right directions on both sides. Even my car has a front range, its the nature of camber bolts.
Rear looks good. |
