Function vs form - happy camber medium

[Guest]

What sort of camber can you get out of stock gc/gf suspension? I need an alignment but how much is too much camber to the point where you start handling worse again?

Pics would be sick.

stock? the most you can get with the bottom wobble bolts (or whatever the propper name is) I guess obvious answer probably missed your question mark

[Guest]

Camber bolts... Ive got sti front struts with them nodule bolts you speak of. Does playing with the rear toe make a noticeable difference?

Considering slip on spacers and as much camber as I can get without sacrificing handling. Ohh and joining the stance movement that fires people up on here so much.

already past my expertise

25mm spacers man. should sit nice and flush with 8" wide rims if thats how wide your rims are?

Stock would max at about -1 deg up front, a bit less on the rear.

On the road around -2.0/2.5 is optimal for a 205/215 tyre.

Too much more and the reduced tyre contact patch will affect stability, braking, wet handling etc.

Im running -2* in the front without extra camber bolts and running factory top hats, handles well and only get slight extra camber wear, but I also run zero toe front and rear which helps wear. running -1.5* in the back

Tbh camber is so :-\

If you want to go through a s*** load of rear tyres then go for gold.

Personally not into massive rear camber none in the front. I like it when it matches and not ott.

Ive got the autospeed thing already dug it out last night. Ive got a 22mm adjustable rear swaybar on middle setting too if that makes a dif.

215/35/18 7.5" wide iirc.

2-2.5 in the front if you can get it. 1-1.5 in the rear and neutral toe both ends

Is it noticeable to look at or just look flat to the eye? Just dont want it looking funny how some people have shitloads in rear and flat in the front.

Lots of camber in the rear and none in the front sounds like a good way to make your car front wheel drive.

Or vice versa.

Lots of camber in the front and none in the back sounds like a good way to throw out your brake balance.

No camber bolts in rear either? You have v8 spec c geometry underbody iirc?

[Stoffa]

no extra camber bolts, just the factory ones, my car has never been in an accident and is freakishly straight alignment wise

v8 spec c front and rear subframes, the front has the same geometry as my factory one and extra bracing but the rear has the same as v7+ (higher mounting points for the lateral arms) Im still using my factory front arms and factory rear lateral and trailing arms.

8 degrees looks cool . but not so fast

[johnny5]

yup jumping on board thinking about goin stanced as well the rims Im looking at are a +20 offset which is very aggressive and could need some inventive thinking to get them under the guards

I know that +38 on 7 inch rim sits perfectly flush with the guards on the front, the rear wheels sit pretty flush too.

yup this rim is 9.75 wide(strange width I know) with the +20 offset it seems ridiculous but if I can get it to work it would look outta this world.

A car in the states on stance nation has the same width rim fitted just a different style running 6.5 degrees neg camber on the rear not to keen on that and I think legal issues rule it out.

My current rims are 8 inch wide +44 Te37s and from the offset calculator I have it would give me 2mm extra clearance inside but extend the wheel 46mm out of the guard

Only becomes a legal issue if you get a cert. Not a wof issue yet if I read the ruling correctly.

Are these xxr\'s youre considering?

[johnny5]

Yup xxr 530s
