Hey everyone! I'm a long-time lurker, and this is my first thread.
I ordered Yohohama ad-08's (225/255) and Vorshlag camber plates today. I track often. All other parts are stock. My question is this: how should I get everything aligned to enable the best transition from track to street and back? I read about people actually aligning with negative camber on top of the plates, but don't really understand the reasons why. What do you all recommend? |

The camber plates you ordered are adjustable. You use them to dial in the camber that you like. There is no "dialing in camber on top of the plates" - the plates are what allows you to modify the camber at all. Personally, I run nearly -3 degrees up front and -2 degrees in the rear. Combined with almost no toe in the front and slight toe-in in the rear and you'll have a very responsive setup that's still easy on the tires. My car is a daily-driver + autocross + track car and I don't modify my alignment at all. Despite running -3 degrees camber up front, my street tires are wearing pretty evenly. I think that's mostly due to running neutral toe up front. Your mileage may vary... |

I keep mine at a bit over 3, probably around 3.2 all the time also, and so far have not seen any extra inside wear, but I'm also at zero toe in front.

I only ordered one set for the front. should I get a set for the rear, too?
I'm hoping to mitigate understeer, so I wanted to make my front a bit more sticky to begin with. |

The rear camber is already pretty adjustable from the factory. Quote:
