huh? why?

 

The SPL arms seem to be the way to go

 

The upper A-arms will allow you to adjust the alignment back to OEM spec. IF that's what you're asking. But OEM spec isn't the best setup for an autoX setup. You'd want more camber than OEM for these events.

 

Axelerate- I don't see your name on the list. Speaking of names, I'm really bad with those and can't remember yours even though we've met a few times. Look for me in a squealing blue BMW.

 

Yeah i'm instructing and they dont have us on the list.

 

Yea me too, I'll be instructing a friend in a nice black Evo 8.

 

becuase i dont want to be messing around with the camber all the time, its a daily driver and only plan on auto Xing everyone once in awhile...and after every adjustment isnt it recomended that you get an alignment also? so id rather not pay for an alighnment everytime i adjust my camber...and im more mainly worried about tire wear on daily use

 

Have some faith in your own abilities!

It's not that hard to do...

 

I had tire wear issue with anything more than 1.6 degree, good luck!

 

I understand what you are saying, but more camber = better is not necessarily true. You can add caster which increases effective camber during turns, while allowing you to have a greater contact patch for straight-line braking.

 

Its true that there is such a thing as too much camber. Each driver, car, and track require different camber settings but caster is not a substitute for static camber. Caster only helps the camber curve (negative camber gain in bump) at some steering angle. The less the steering angle the less gain. In high speed, large radius corners you get much less camber help from caster then in lower speed corners. Static camber helps in the higher speed corners.

Caster also helps load the inside rear wheel in corners which helps power application. Again, the benefit is greater at larger steering angles (lower speed corners).

 

Thank you for this explanation (and the many others I've read from you about track stuff in general)... it makes perfect sense. I need to go read a suspension book or something
