Negative Camber...

[pagey]

...looks more like some car thief stole their springs.





Seriously though, has anyone else have/had negative camber before? Did you notice a big increase on handling?

Apparently I'm running more neg camber than I should be, but Midas reckons thereisnt enough adjustability in the ef to get it right.
I can't say how much better handling it is though because it was an I'll handling whale before I changed springs and the wheel alignment got done

Those cars look like they've been dropped from a decent height to me...japanese have some strange fads.

pagey - it depends on what you use the car for as to how much neg camber you should run. About 1.25 degrees (or 1 degree 15 minutes if the W/A machine reads that way) is probably good for a lowered falcon that gets driven with a bit of enthusiasm. If you don't punish the car into corners much then you'd want less, if you get on it all the time and have 15/16/17" tyres you'll probably want more.

Coming from a guy who just bought a set of 20s for his EF....

I think you'd find there is no functional benefit to the set-up in those pics.

I'm sure the V8 Supercar guys know what they are doing though.

Thanks for that, big help.

I noticed that EFFalcon has a bit of negative camber on his car.

HAHAHAHAHAH

My MX5 runs -1.75 front and -1.25 degrees rear, handles much better (way more balanced and predictable than standard camber settings) wears through the tires a bit though!

My EB runs whatever it ended up with when it was lowered, probably -2 degrees; this suits my driving style but also kills tyres a bit fast for my liking.
