Had my camber, caster, and toe adjusted after having the SPC front and rear camber kits installed. Any insightful feedback or comments would be great! Thanks!

damn i really need a camber kit to control the wear.
are all kits the same?

I would bump up the fronts to .7 minimum and maybe bump the rears up(-1.6) for a normal street driven car. For us autocrossers, and trackday guys i would completely change it , and if i ran the cali canyons all the time i would also change the specs.

isn't it too much camber on the rear??? i think 1 should've been good.

julian

yup, what terrasmak said. should have gone more negative in the front, more positive in the rear. for a daily driver that sees no track time i would go -1 in front, -0.5 or -.75 in the rear.

they really need to fix your front toe in. I would aim for ~0.05 toe in

Alright for a daily driver but i would change the front camber so the car will steer better. Also the rear camber is fine, you could even go up to -2.0 in the rear and do the front at about -1.5. Car will steer alot better and still wont wear tires. You car prolly handles pretty poorly right now.

Looks spot on. -1.6 degree of camber in the rear are oem specs.

Here's my rear specs after a SPC camber/toe install. After two years no uneven tire wear at all.

That would handle like crap

julian

oh you tried it already? man you're fast at alignments.

if people complain about their rear tires wearing out quickly, having less negative camber will reduce it (assuming your toe settings are correct). the tradeoff for less negative camber in the back... it might make it a little loose. so i wouldn't say it'll handly like crap... i would say more exciting. heh

My car handles okay right now. I could've opted for more camber on the front, but since it's my daily driver, I wanted to have even wear. I hit the track once every 2-3 months...

Isn't it 0.05 already?

doh, was looking at the before

The rear toe is a bit high for my street-driven tastes. I'd rather see 0-0.06.

terrasmak

Little loose, thats a drift setting.

The OP later says he tracks it every few months, i would run -1 front and -1.6 rear. The wear will actually be pretty even with good traction andf turn in. While not destroying the tires on the days at the track.

Thanks guys. That was pretty good feedback.
I agree with you BarefootRacer and terrasmak, I initially prioritized on getting the best tire wear out of my tires, but I'm realizing that a good balance between tire wear and handling is best. So a -1 front and -1.6 rear would be optimal for daily driving and occasional tracking/autocrossing? How about the toe settings?

0/0.

Dont zero toe the Z. It will not steer well and dart from left to right with imperfections in the road. The -1 and -1.6 will be better. Dont be afraid to go up to -1.5 front camber and -2.0 rear. Just keep the toe within stock specs so the tires wear evenly.

+1 on part of it, yes those camber setting are nice (its exactly what i run) but the rear is actually a hair to much for sticky as hell street tires. You also get a bit of wear for street use front and rear. The front at 1.5 is little funny on crowned roads, we have a lot in Vegas, but the wear is great for the track, only .2 to .3 is really needed for a perfect setting on the track.
