Thanks SK,

just measured mine, 340 at the back 335 at the front.

so about 10mm off what optimum is...

i have height/damper adjustable coilovers, would it be worth raising it 10mm?

Whats the standard camber / toe in/out settings like?

what does dropping it to 345/350 do to the camber?

I think i'm running about -2.5deg neg camber up front and about -2deg camber at rear...

guessing this is because it is lowered about 40mm from standard?

Hi Ferni, the 10 mm too low is resulting in too much neg camber, as usual the rear is the worst offender. For a road car we never got over 1.5 degrees negative on the front and 1 degree negative on the rear. The 2.5 negative on the front is OK if you do some track work, with 1.5 degrees negative on the rear. A drag car gets best traction at zero camber on the rear, in fact a little positive is not unususal. Time for a camber kit if you don't already have one.

Hope that helps :P

i'm aiming for neg 1.5 on the front and neg 1 on the back.

You said the rear camber is worst offender? But in my case my fronts are ~ -2.5 and rear ~ -2

My front tyres are scrubbed baddly on the insides, rears, not so bad.

I'm about to get some new tyres - hence i want to get the camber fixed up.. probbaly get a whiteline handling pack (swaybars, rear camber kit, front castor kit) + front camber kit.

So i guess my main question is, is it worth raising my car 10mm? - it shouldn't be to hard with my adjustable coilovers.

If you like it there Ferni, and it doesn't bottom out or rub its tummy where you drive, them it's OK. Just get some camber adjusters. The rear is the worst offender, if you do any track work the front is OK at 2.5, but the rear is never OK at 2. :cheers:
