Default front camber -2 max?

Car is lowerred 32mm I wanted -3 camber all round but could only get -2 at the front

The front right wouldha gone higher but the left just won't give up more than -2

When I did the springs I took the upper arms off and pre-loaded the bushings

front is camber limited. If you want more camber you will either have to run SPC ball joints or J's Racing camber joint.

realy -2 with over an inch drop sounds right? I thought people could get over -2 at stock height - I thought the front had a realy big dynamic camber curve


I'd do a camber kit but I can't afford the +2 points with NASA

I was never able to get much more than 2 with an inch or so drop, and what i was able to get was in the expense of castor, another reason why camber kits are sweet. I now have 3.2 w/ 8 degrees castor.

I'm lowered down to about a finger gap up front, maybe a hair lower and the max I could get was -2.6 I want to pick up those j's camber joints eventually.

I hate my SPC balljoints. It's very easy to get out of alignment spec if the sliding plate moves a little.

Spin the top plate 90degrees and lock them into one position.
