so, I bought these tires that last forever for the street, but I run R-comp at auto-x.

I have stock usdm spec for the camber right now with H&R springs (which is actually nice and strangely begin to go up after settling) but of course, I'm going to need the camber changed (since my street rims are at 225/45/17 front and 255/40/17 on the rear- or 50 and 45 - i cant remember -whichever is right for plus 1).

so, here is the question.

Do you guys have more camber on the front or rear? I always had more camber on the front than rear and that worked out on evo, but subie guys are always doing more front camber than rear. has anyone done a comparison? I know in theory more front camber and less rear for turns, but I'm wondering if you have more camber on the back and little less camber in the front, you'll have a better stability on the turn... i don't know...

I'm reading on the dynamic/active camber adjustment as well, which if anyone has a setup for it, I'd love to hear about it.

 

Typically people max out their camber for corning, up until about -4 front and -3 rear (or so). On a stock car, you can get more rear camber than front camber, so people usually run it that way out of necessity.

 

Depending on how low your car is you can get a fair amount of camber out of the stock suspension. I'm lowered on KW v3's and I have -2 in the front and -2.5 in the rear, running 0 toe up front and 1/8 toe in on the rear, maxed out the caster on the front.

Seems to work pretty well, but I also think that it has a lot to do with tires being run, and type of surface running on. With R comp's i would say you want as much negative camber as you can get but that makes hell on tires when running on the street.

 

^you should have some toe out on the front for better turn in IMO>

 

Yeah, and then the car will be darty and trying to "turn in" all the way down the straightaway.

Toe out might work for autoX, but it's not generally a good choice for track (or street). Not on the S2000, anyway.

 

^yup...autox directed

 

Mike,

Isn't this backwards? I want less relative camber up front so I don't get oversteer at the limit.
