This page might be useful even though it is aimed towards the Si http://www.redshiftmotorsports.com/R...20Packages.htm. I have about -1.5 on my Si front and back. Handles like a dream. Any camber that isn't aimed towards performance is stupid and a waste of money.

You can agree without posting a useless comment. If you had under 30 posts, your count may have been reset. If you do it, noobs may follow your lead.

that last post was a joke

Agreed. I remember the days when 15" or 16" wheels meant you were poor. Or if your car had stock bumpers, side skirts, hood, head lights, or tail lights, nobody considered your car to be "modified".

I love when I see suspension questions in the "appearance" section. It shows the mindset of the person making the thread... and in most cases, their ignorance toward the effects of modifying the suspension.

I remember those days. I wasn't old enough to drive back then. The time span between The Fast and The Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious was pretty nuts. I wont be one to sit back and say I wasn't into it back then because I was. I was only 11 to 13 years old but still.

I don't pay that much attention to what section some threads are in. But if you see suspension questions in the appearance section, then yeah... you know where they are going with things. Function and safety are the last things on their mind and shouldn't even modify a tricycle.

camber doesn't kill tires, poor alignment and incorrect toe do. I have zero on my camber but I have bad inner tie rods so my ties are still being ate up. just rotate your tires every oil change after an alignment and you should be fine.

but, camber does kill tires. the weight of your car isnt distributed across the entire width of the tire. so it will wear faster, on the inside only. i guess you could break down the tires and flip them so the outside of the tire that wasnt really touching the ground will be on the inside. but, aint nobody got time for dat

I'm not going to read the entire thread.

I have -2.5 front and -1.8 rear. I also have .5 degree toe out in the front and .1 in in the rear. 35psi cold, bled to 35 when hot. I spent a week playing at the track after work and testing different settings. I've put 6k on my tires and a hard 6k since I finalized the settings. There is no visible wear on my tires (Kumho Ecsta AST 215/40/17). The goods about the setup. It is twitchy in a good way. When I tell the car to turn it turns. It also balanced the understeer a bit. Feels awesome! The bad. On crowned roads it's super twitchy. Tire wear is increased, but not by much and it has been evenly. It's probably too extreme for a DD, but I enjoy the rare occasions when I drive spirited. So that's my two cents.

[ProSouth]

im not an expert, but isnt -2.5 still considered in spec?

[Fodoaccord]

no I think your thinking of -1.5. and mazada come with negative camber and there tires are fine but then again they did master the rotary engine so all I can say is just test some stuff out.
