Default Aggressive Camber???

I have set to 2 degrees negative the camber on my CGT, with zero toe.

Is it too much camber???

TIA,

Carlos.

Default Depends (as both a garment and a comment)

2 is a lot for a straight street car unless you live on a mountain road. I run 1.5 for a dual purpose car and I get no weird wear at all. It sure is a lot of fun.

I have found with the 4kq, that you can make up considerably for the understeer with all the camber range.

Default Thanks for the input.

I was also think that 2 is a bit too much, although the car isn't my daily driver.
I'm going to go down to 1.5 and watch the tires.

BTW, what are you using for tires/wheels?

I have 15x7" with 205/55 Kuhmos.

Thanks,

Carlos.

Good, pretty similar. I did set to 1.5 yesterday, but haven't test it yet.

Default Unscientific test for you...

The reason why I use 1.5 deg is that I feel the car is now pretty neutral and I don't get any odd wear up front. If you put too much static neg camber then the car is twitchy in the straights.
