[s-cars] 2B Camber Plates

[CLAG500 at aol.com]

Taka,

  The way the toe changes with the camber has to do with the basic design of
the suspension. The steering arms are very high on the struts. When you add
negative camber the distance between the tops of the struts is reduced but
the length of the tie rod remains constant and causes the wheels to toe out.
I had thought about marking the camber and then adding negative for auto-X.
The toe change is pretty drastic though mainly because of how close the
steering arms are to the tops of the struts. Adjusting the toe with the tie
rod ends is tedious and I don't think wouldn't want to mess with it at the
track.

 Is this more a function of the 2Bennett design rather than
 the suspension configuration?

 I've seen plenty of cars w/ camber plates that allow you to
 go from street to track and back w/ ease. Maybe these Audis
 don't allow you to do that.
