[s-cars] Calling All Suspension and Alignment Junkies - Front CamberSetting

[Trevor Frank]

I can get 1.9 deg or more with just slotting. I run 1.9 on the street and 2.5 on the track, with 255 35 18's.

The Patient is a 95.5 S6 with Bilstein/Eibach sport kit.  I just got my car
aligned and the best they could do on the front camber is -1.5 on both
sides.  I have what looks like another 1/4 " of potential movement if I
grind out the slots in the upper mounts a tad more.  The alignment sheet
from the shop is showing a range of -0.3 to -1.3 as being spec.  Bentley is
showing -0.15 to -0.75 as being spec.  Anybody want to venture a guess as to
the correct spec?  I am hoping to get in spec with just a further extension
of the slots.  I think this is doable with a -1.3 spec but not if spec is
-0.75.  Does anybody know how strut mount movement correlates to camber
degrees?  Meaning, if I get another ¼" movement, what may I expect my camber
to be given a current -1.5.  Tires are just too damn expensive for my piggy
bank to run excessive negative camber and I would prefer not to go the Igor
frankenmount route but...



Best regards,



Mark
