I was playing with the car today and thought I would add some extra neg. camber to the left front trie. I'm going to try this for the next track day just to see how it does. Anyone run like this all the time?

My settings are now:
Front Left: -2.5
Front Right: -1.75
Rear Left: -1.5
Rear Right: -1.5

Front toe: 3mm out
rear toe: ~0

 

Are you trying to compensate for the way the driver's weight affects the alignment...?

What is your reasoning on why you think this will improve handling?

Im guessing that he is doing this because there are more right hand corners one typical clockwise run track than left hand corners.


Personally, I wouldnt want my car to handle differently on left handers than right handers. Not to mention the unpredictable nature.
Although, in practice, I think you will find that the different camber numbers wont affect your handling that much. Last time I had my car up on the rack the camber was -1.5 on one side, and -2.4 on the other. (supposed to be -2.0 on each side) Before that I hadnt noticed handling to be too far off.

 

No! I'm trying to compensate for the fact that most turn are right had turns, and that the outside of the left tire is wearing much faster than the inside. The front right tire is wearing pretty evenly with only -1.5 deg. camber, but the front left was not. Was just an idea is all

Maybe it's a bad idea?

That's what I was thinking...and why I was confused.
