for those of you who has the Lancer Camber Kit by Progress aka the RRM one.. what is your front and rear camber set to?? i just got the kit installed and my car aligned.. which still has to be steered a lil to the right to go straight.. my front camber is at .5 and read is at .25 im not sure if its negative or positive... do you think i should go get it checked out at another shop?? help!! I don't wanna end up buying new tires again! oh yea i have the eibach pro kit on 17" rims.. any ideas guys?? i don't really know much about alignments and camber kits.. so any input would be helpful.. save me 400$!!

You already got my opinion, but I'l post it here. It's probably neegative. An alignment guy would have to be stupid to give a street car positive camber. -.5 and -.25 isnt much and your tire life should be great with it. I think you'd be safe as far as -1 on the street. I'm at -1.5 and -.75 and get excellent tire life.

 

I'm at -1.8 camber front and rear with .2 toe out on the front on my mirage and I haven't noticed any ill effects on tirewear. The car handles like a go cart now too.

 

If you have toe out and you drive daily you will see some tire wear on the insides very soon... or they didn't actually put toe out on your car.

Ok, maybe I should tell you guys something I was too lazy to type before. My front left wheel is -1.5 and the front right is -1.7 to counteract torque steer. I honestly didn't notice a difference either way, and LancerCali seems to have the opposite problem. It's pulling to the left???

 

But......I think I have put 2000 miles on my car in the last 4 months. Most of those are driving to the races since my commute is only 2 miles.

 

My commute is 10 miles to work and 25 miles to school. You can get away with it, I know I can't. You drive about as much as Tony and Beverlee, and they saw bad inside wear after about 8-9 months, but they didn't rotate them.

 

should get it as close to 0..he did it wrong.thats hecka far apart..

 

Why would you say that? Road racers want a tad of toe out, and autocrossers want a lot of toe out. That's the best thing to eliminate understeer in sharp corners. I would if I could, but until I learn to do alignments at the race, I can't afford it.
You must be talking from a street driving point of view.

 

hey JDM_FeTiSh the guy who did my alignment said thats as close as its gonna get to 0 :\ tell me if you think he's wrong..

 

well depends on your driving. sorry forgot to mention that haha.

 

your toe should be zero or slight toe in. As for your camber, I think -.5 front and -.25 rear is perfect for street driving. Even up to -1 is ok on the streets (heck, I still get outer tire wear with -1.5). Assuming the toe is correct, you should be fine.
