[s-cars] Front Camber Adjustment

[Martin, Gary G]

Your tires will wear on the inside edge. You can get correction plates from
http://www.ecstuning.com/  or you can get it close to in spec by elongating
the camber plate slots with a round file. That is the route I took and got
very close to spec. I may still get a bit of inside tire wear, but based on
the -1.5 I was running prior to slotting, I think it will be acceptable. I
think by loosening and tweaking the subframe a bit, you could get the camber
the same on both sides, but I really don't know too much about that. Only
heard it mentioned on the list once.

Subject: [s-cars] Front Camber Adjustment


Just before buying my car (about 2 weeks ago), the previous owner replaced
the stock springs with H&R springs.  Today I finally had a four wheel
alignment done.  The mechanic got both rear tires within spec.  However, he
had some trouble with the camber on the front two wheels.

He told me the spec range is -1.1 to -0.1
The best he could do was -1.3 for the front left and -1.8 for the front
right.

Unfortunately, I don't have any specific information on exactly which
springs are installed.  Is this far enough out of spec to worry about?  if
so, any suggestions?

Thanks!
