Help with camber - Megan Street Series Coilover - S13

[Tripos]

Need some help with camber specs on an S13 chasis. The car is lowered with megan coilovers and Im running 18x9 +0 offset all around. The fronts has 20mm overfenders and rears are pulled. I just need some sugguestions on how much negative camber I should run on all four corners? It's not a DD vehicle and will see some autox in the near future. I don't want to go crazy with the cambers, just enough that it's noticable (really do enjoy the look of it), and I'm not too sure how far I can max out the cambers on the megan coilovers. I'm thinking of doing -2 camber all around, and a buddy sugguest I just put -2 up front (I want all four corners to look even for camber wise). I would keep toe and caster within spec. Any sugguestions?

Set it back to OEM specs if you want it to handle ok.
IF you really want to have the best handling possible take it to a raceshop and let them align it for you.
Some ppl like the camber look(my brother), I personally don't, but I can tell you that running too much camber reduces your contact patch therefore losing grip.

whats the car going to be used for?? if its a race car (grip racing) then the base camber setting should be based on many aspects: like side wall stiffness of the tire and the camber curve of the suspension.. but if ur just trying to make ur car look pimp.. then just do what ever looks good.. but technically camber is used to add grip to a wheel during cornering. so more imput on what the car is being used for would be helpful.

just my opinion but here is my setup and it feels nice

front:
camber -2
toe -0.1
caster 8

rear:
camber -1
toe 0

The car is not going to be used for aggressive auto-x. Mainly for the look that the negative camber gives

motegineon, any pics of how it looks like?

you would be fine with the -2 for the track and just to make it look better.

i would however take it down to -1 in the rear for auto-x meets like motegineon said...but no need to mess with the toe cuz if u dont know how to align, you will be spending a ton of money.

ront:
camber -3.5
toe -0.1
caster 8

rear:
camber -2.5
toe 0

Changed the camber a bit, but that about what I plan on having my car set up to.

[motegineon]

if your just going for an aggressive camber look then just max the front camber plates out, thats what i ran for a while until i got an alignment and i think it was only at like -3.5 or something

As I stated earlier, I dont want to go crazy with the camber... just enough that it looks decent. The thing is, I want it all to look even...I dont wan't the fronts to tilt more than the rears. Would -2.5 up front and -2 on the rear be okay?

[motegineon]

that sounds good then, my -1 in the rear look like hardly anything, almost 0 basically, but its great for grip driving

my -2 up front has noticeable camber, but not a hella lot, so yea i think -2.5 and -2 would be a nice setup..you want to run a lil more up front anyways

i dont really have any recent (after alignment) angle shots but heres this if it helps any



also im running 17x9 -1

if you're only going for looks, -3 or more.
