Daniel - that's out of whack mate.

Front L+R and Rear L+R numbers should be pretty close to each other.

eg:

Front L = -01.85 R= -01.86

Rear L = -02.26 R= -1.99

So yeah fractionally different - not whole numbers apart

Edit: 3 degrees probably to much for the street. Fine for the track

Depends how much tyre wear you can bare.

Hey guys,

I have never been completely happy with how my 18x9.5 +22 rims sit on my car.

So I decided to call up the place who did the wheel alignment and get the specs for the camber that they put on it.

Below are the details

Front Left: -2.27deg

Front Right: -1.14 deg

Rear Left: -1.39deg

Rear Right: -3.69deg

Does this sound right? I always thought 3deg camber was something the fan boys did

I'm questioning if he actually gave me the correct info.

Looking at some whiteline camber arms to help correct this.

Okay awesome.

So they have bushes that allow you to adjust up to 0.75%

I was thinking of getting them for the front

And camber arms for the back to adjust the most.

What do you think?

Or should I be getting camber arms for the front as well.

front has no movement, but rear has a few degrees of adjust. camber adj blocks at the front will be fine, but you will need the arms to fix that rear. But that leads to the question, why is the car so far out at the rear? is this as good as they could get it? or is it just a dodgy alignment job?

I'm really unsure what happened.

I took it to a local Canberra tire place.

Seems very strange that they allowed it to be so different for both sides. Makes traction very strange in the wet. I was thinking with arms I could get it to almost flush.

Yeah rears shouldn't have more than a degree or 2 at most..3 on the front is fairly common, I run it but not on the back...and they shouldn't be that different side to side..half a degree at most...sure you haven't got a bent control arm...

It must look odd from behind your car...

For good handling you want r 2-3 on the front and 1-1.5 rear...for good looks you want to wear a dress and heels..

This is on the money

this is a little too much on the rear as far as static camber is concerned in the rear regarding traction and handling.

if you come up the coast i have a guy that can do your car ;)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
