Re: what camber do you run? (chad)
somewhere between 1 f/r I'm not to keen on maximum cornering setups because being able to use it is a rarity unlike straightline traction which my car sometimes lacks as is.

I heard a dude named Stormy uses mad camber in the front and even madder in the rear.

Wow Mike .. that's a lot of camber. Do your temps come out looking pretty even that way? I'm think I'm going to do some testing at Cal Speedway in a couple weeks to get mine where it should be for the roval tracks. I've never even measured it on the new car.

Re: what camber do you run? (Leb_CRX)
I like negative camber, but that's just because I'm a hater.
What kind of car (i'm presuming a CRX by your name, but what year?), what kind of activity? Street? Auto-X? Road Race? What kind of tires and wheels? I imagine that depending on what you're doing alignment settings will vary widely.
That being said, typically as much negative camber as possible with the understanding that excessive negative camber may affect your straight line braking performance. Or so I've heard.

Re: what camber do you run? (1gCRX90)
ya my nickname's misleading (and old...heh), I've had a 97 ek for about 3 years now
it is a daily driver but for activies, pretty much some road course but mostly auto-x , regarding tires to be honest I am not sure what I will be running next year, i am hoping for some azenis if I can find another set of rims to use, and I haven't fully made up my mind yet
I was just looking to see what kind of #'s most people ran, and set it up with something close and play around with it, and go from there...from the looks of it I am going to start with -2.5f and -1.5r and go from there

not that surprising, considering your choice of suspension. 15-35 degrees hotter on the inside edge sounds about right, assuming you aren't locking the brakes or generating a lot of wheelspin. if you have a bit of both, i'd still think you're running too little static. -6* static has got to do some damage to brake/accel performance though, so i'd be hesitant to recommend more static camber. perhaps some stiffer linear springs and some low speed shock force? did you guys splurge on data aq with your DMS stuff, or still flying SOP style?
on my ST car i'm running nearly 3 degrees negative up front, less then 1 degree negative on the rear. these ball park numbers don't mean squat without knowing what spring and bar rates you're running or what tires. my setup is fairly stiff but with the street tires i run on i could still stand another half degree or so of camber. another ST car i've been helping develop is running very high spring rates and had good success with over -4.5*'s of camber. again more likely due to the type of tire then anything else.
