I seem to be going through alot of rear tires.So the fix is,The SPC camber kit.How much camber should I have for proper tire wear?How much +,- camber. I dont track or anything like that ,but i do go through the twisties every now and then, any info or suggestions would be great .
Thanks
Thanks
Radial tires are designed to function best with a 0.75-0.5 negative camber.
You need to measure the suspensions camber curve [how the camber changes at +0.5, +1.0, +1.5 and -0.5, -1.0, -1.5, -2.0, -2.5"] and how the tire sidewall defelects which reduces camber.
THE GOAL being to set static camber so it say at -0.5 degrees as the body rolls and changes the load on the suspension plus forces on the tire.
Since the front dive maximally in panic braking the -2.5" dip number is critical since the more negative the camber the less effective the tire contact patch is [it become trapizodial and area reduces on inside over heating the compound].
The less negative camber the better if braking and tire life is a concern.

I posted it somewhere the nominal rear camber specs for the Z - at this point any alignment shop should have the specs in their computer, so have it set to the halfway point if tire wear is a huge concern.
