So what would be the advantages of having the camber and toe in that far?

 

Complete flatness of all your tyres being on the tarmac, while I don't like that one much. I prefer Jordan's or BAR's cars. I'm a Honda supporter.

 

Just ask some of our Autocross guys. They reset the S2000 to maximum negative camber so the the tire on the outside of the car on a turn (right or left), has maximum tire patch to the pavement.

If you think about it, you can see that you need maximum mechanical grip for a corner, but not for a straight! The maximum forces are on the corners, so after a run; they take tire temperatures to see if it's even on the outside middle and inside of the tire. If it's hotter on the inside, then you add positive camber; if it's hotter on the outside then you add negative camber. If it's hotter in the center, then lower the air pressure; and if it's hotter on the edges, then add air pressure.

 

S2000 Owner, that makes sense...Thanx.

 

I particularly like the photo

 

How can we easily add/minus camber to our car??

Coil-over suspension? Camber Kid??
