Please post pics of your wheels if your running a lot of negative camber.
IE: You got a shop to setup alignment negatively to create negative camber/toe

And does anybody know how many degrees (negatively) our SC will go when getting alignment done? Thanks......

Why would you want to purposely create negative camber?
It might help a little in turns when AutoXing but is definitely uncool for daily driving.
Kills tires way prematurely.
I've currently got -2 degrees in the rear and -1.5 in the front because the stock components didn't allow any more adjustment.

I had my car setup about like that, but went back to less camber since I just didn't use it on the street, and tire wear was uneven. The car still handles great without nearly as much camber.

after i installed the coilovers and got the alignment i was maxed POSITIVE at -2.5 in the rears and -1.5 in the fronts. Im sure theres lots of room to add some sick dorifto camber if thats what you really want...

I hope your not looking for camber like the pic you have in your avatar. Tires are too expensive and with camber like that, the rain will kill you. I've worn through my geforce tires in the front already and the rears are catching up pretty quick (going to try to get alignment this week if i can get my rack and pinon bushings in by then). If you want better handling, put the money your going to use buying tires into a swaybar set, you'll notice a real diff with that instead of those slanted tires.

i dont think its handling he's after...negative camber will only help to a certain point. I think that the beneficial area was somewhere between -1.5 and -3.0 but the -30 degrees is just ridiculous. Im not trying to flame or anything but i just dont see the point in running more than what would be necessary. I think it would be a better idea to get wheels with the right offset than wheels that have 6 feet of lip and only use the inner sidewall as the contact patch.

If you need more camber, lower the car and youll have more than what you need to deal with. Dropped on eibachs i was maxed at -2.0 all around. Im sure there is at least 1 or 2 degrees of adjustment from there. Also, the camber kit made by daizen gives you 1.5 degrees either way i think. Look into it.

CleanSC

Up to 2 degrees in either direction.

youre right. I thought so but wasnt 100% sure.

kinda off OT but... when i slammed my car with hks hipermaxes... (and i mean slammed.. lower than any spring shock combo out there) i was still able to get a proper alignment.


..... yea just thought i'd throw that out there
