Default camber curve

Does anyone know of any camber curve plots for the front and rear suspension? I was wondering what the optimal ride height is for negative camber gain.

From what i understand the car needs to be run pretty tall, (dam near stock ride height) or you completely screw up your suspension geometry.

I measured them years ago....

All of this was done with stock ride heights and upper control arm lengths.

To respond to your other post, I ended up making my own upper bushings for camber adjustment b/c there aren't any BSP legal aftermarket parts. (monoballs are still illegal)

A lot depends on the actual suspension travel. On stock spring I agree completely. With springs rates in the 700 to 900 range (an extreme example) you'll only see about 1" of bump and .5" of rebound travel so your camber curve/bump steer issue is very limited. It pretty easy to correct it the range of suspension travel is small.
