rlaifatt,

I have the SPC ball joints set for max negative camber, but the stock adjusters aren't anywhere near max. With my setup you can get more caster. The more negative camber you set with the stock adjusters the less caster you can get because they both move the lower control arm.

Rob

Good point. And with 6.8 caster you don't need as much neg. camber for cornering, and less sacrifice on braking.

I recently installed SPC adjustable ball joints in the front of my S and I documented the install. The install also shows how to remove the brake dust shields.

The webserver just went down and I'm out of town. Don't know how long it'll be down. Sorry.

I finally hit the track again at the Fall Colors HPDE on Monday. The car handled very well with the SPC ball joints and -2.8 degrees of front camber. I did wear a hole in the right front fender well so maybe 6.7 degrees of caster is excessive or it could be a combination of being lowered 7/8 of an inch and the Enkei RPF1 wheels (not the best offset for the S).
