How are you getting that much camber?I’m currently sitting at -3.3 degrees both sides.
Thank you, Jared. I plan to borrow blacksheep-1's jig to clearance the towers and get -3°. I doubt I will go past that, but you never knowI would try for more negative camber up front. (Assuming you aren’t getting crazy rollover on hard cornering as it sits) I’m currently sitting at -3.3 degrees both sides. Looks like your rear axle is centered almost perfectly form what I can see. Definitely within spec.
Noted, sir.Get all the caster you can get, the more, the better. This creates a phenomenon as " camber gain" in mid corner.
I haven't used the jig to clear my towers for more camber. I'm just running koni yellow struts with ground control caster camber plates.Thank you, Jared. I plan to borrow blacksheep-1's jig to clearance the towers and get -3°. I doubt I will go past that, but you never know

^^ I was able to get -3.8 degrees but felt that was a bit much. If you can't get enough clearance, there is the Vorshlag strut tower jig to widen the opening.How are you getting that much camber?
2 edge sword, caster is important because with more caster you gat camber gain in the corner, and since our cars are pushy, that is a huge benefit.You won't be able to get more caster than that at the same time you can get -3 camber even with the holes cut out. And camber is more important.
Zero toe for street use, no toe in. If autocross only, slight toe out (negative number on Hunter machines) to help turn in.

yes, of course. I just feel that since the S197 already has 7~8 degrees and getting much more than that is going to require either losing negative camber, or wheel width, camber trumps caster in this instance.2 edge sword, caster is important because with more caster you gat camber gain in the corner, and since our cars are pushy, that is a huge benefit.

We did testing way back when Hoosier was trying to roll out the first radial slicks in GT-1 sizes and tried high caster (8-10 degrees) lower static camber (-2ish)setups (on SLA cars) and it did not work well at all. Have you played with high caster lower camber setups on the strut cars/modern tires?
