So let me ask you, do you have any rubbing issues? What is your camber for both front and back?

 

Great feedback. Negative camber can be excellent for handling - which is why I have been puzzled with people wanting to pull it out.


What exact negative camber are you running .. front and back ? Is this the best for handling, in your opinion ?


Thanks !!

 

Still waiting on something from SPC for front camber.

 

I run -2 degrees out back, and usually -1.5 ish up front. Is it the best? Hard to say, as it varies by so many factors. Personally, I found it to be an awesome combo of turn in response, stability when powering down mid turn, and it suits my driving style well. No tire wear issues at all, and I've now got more than 10k miles on my S03's (they were new around this time a year ago).

 

Thank you very much for your feedback !! When I get a chance, I am going to have an alignment dialing in your camber. Want to see if this improves the turn in response of the PS2's.

 

Wow really, no tire wear issues? I guess the Z really does like camber. On my tires, without camber kits mind you, I notice that the inner tread is dirtier that the outer tread, obviously because of negative camber. Since I don't race my car or anything like that, I'd like to keep my tires for as long as possible. I think -1.2 up front and -1.5 or so out back is good. What do you recommend for people like me? Thanks.

 

Oh and I hope -1.2 (f) and -1.5 (r) won't causing rubbing issues, because currently I have none.

 

I cannot tell you if it will rub or not - too many variables at play

the toe is most likely causing your tire wear issues, not camber. That is, unless you drive ALOT of miles of pure, straight highway

 

Well, I have approximately -1.7 up front and -2.3 in the back. I forget the exact numbers for toe but it is within spec. I want to get my camber back into spec at the very minimum. Thanks for the reply.

 

Does anybody have any specs on how negative I can get it? I don't want the camber arms to get back into spec - my alignment guy needs them to give me an aggressive autocross setup. Thx.

 

how negative what will get you?

 

Negative camber with the cusco front a-arms. Thx.

 

I've never measured the exact amount of negative I can get - I am at 1.5 now, and I'd estimate I could get another -2 degrees out of them

 

Cool, thanks!

 

I know a lot - but I am no expert by a long shot ...

Can anyone give me their input ..

1/ Without using Cusco / other adjustable arms -- can the camber be set to a desired negative of around 1.5 for the front and 2.0 for the rear ?

2/ I know that the adjustable arms are usually used to bring larger wheel settings into spec by having the ability for more positive settings.

Therefore ...

Cusco has been used for negative settings ... what are the advantages of Cusco -- better negative settings ?

 

1. no

2. search Been covered to death! Seriously though, the Cusco arms offer both positive and negative correction - like any other a arm on the market, they offer more negative than positive, as you are limited by the 1. design of the arm and 2. the fender well. The more radical your wheel/tire combo and/or the more radical your drop, the more adjustment you need. It is too time consuming to list every possible combination, but on my own car I have 18x8.5 +20 wheels, with Potenza S03's in 245/40/18, and can easily bring my front to stock specs if needed. By choice, I run slightly more aggressive front camber than stock, as it offers tons of benefits and to date, zero negatives
