What is the perfect negative camber?

MightyMouseTech · 03-16-2016, 11:31 AM

I just double checked my alignment sheet.

Sorry, I mislead you about my front camber!

Front camber with the arms and Dinan plates is -2.15 degrees left and right.

Front toe is set to exactly 0.00 left and right.

Rear camber is -2.00 degrees left and right.

Rear toe is +0.05 degrees left and right.

It is also very important to have the rear toe exactly match left to right. When they are not the same, can create some scary handling when full throttle.

Wear from excessive toe is a lot worse than wear from excessive camber, but the latter will still wear your tires unevenly to the point you'll probably be disappointed when you have to replace tires that still have a bunch of tread...on the outside only. If you track the car, plenty of negative camber will help your tires wear evenly, but you have to be constantly maxing out the car if you want to get that wear balance so it won't happen on the street.
