Recommended camber?
OK I just ordered KYB GR2s for my GC impreza.
I currently have an eibach pro-kit on the stock struts, but will likely be getting H&R sport springs to put on the GR2s. The H&Rs should lower the car 1.5 in the rear and 1.8 in the front. My questions are: What should the camber be set at in the front and rear to prolong tire life without compromising any handling or throwing me into oversteer? I am fairly knowledgable with the basics of suspension, but this camber and castor stuff still confuses me a little. actually, i don't even know what castor is, does it matter to me at this point? Also, is there anywhere that I can find good instuction on how to adjust camber bolts to the correct settings? And where can I go to get a good set of bolts for the rear? Thanks, Greg

for my taste. looks like / \ instead of | |. so my alignment for camber -0.5 fronts and -0.7 rears. but after I get teins going to -0.2 fronts and -0.5 rears. I also have cusco front camber plates for autox and alk's caster, the angle the strut is from pure vertical. more / the better the turn. the alk's change caster to help turn in. but the camber plates give a solid feel to steering. seen from the side of your car. camber, the tilt of the wheel as seen from front or rear. negative / \, postive \ /, zero | |. I autox and plan for a few track days. cusco sway bars all around 21mm front & 22-24mm rear version 2 front sub-brace. all on stock stuts and eibach pro-kit springs. cusco front camber plates too. the car handles as tight as my past porsches without the high price tag. it goes where I want it to go. close as neutral with springs. saving for coilovers. my few cents Ben Jax Mod Squad |
