Camber question
#1
![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Taking a trip from South Florida to the Atlanta area. I want to cruise some mountain roads and maybe some brisk driving if traffic is light. I've lowered my car about 1.5 in all around but never changed my alignment specs (actually never got it aligned after my drop as it still tracks straight) after it was lowered. I'm thinking of getting some camber dialed in but not sure how much. I'm thinking a little more camber won't kill my front tires. What do you guys recommend?

I do not like "negative " any thing, not thinking or camber or or, but back to your question, a little negative camber ( -.50 to -.75)will add stabalizy( sp) in the mountain roads

O- YEP it is adjustable
look under the front of your car at the point where the front lower conrtol arms connect to the frame, the two bolts in the center which lay parell with the frame the mounting points are sloted which allow camber adjustment, the other two bolts which which point up are used to adjust caster.
good luck, Johnny

-1 degree I'd actually prefer way more than stock alignment specs. Mine was around .5 or 1 in the positive region and that was causing premature wear on the outside of the tire. -1 degree will probably wear a lot less than a lot of stock alignments even for daily driving.

(-) 1 degree camber does the same thing in reverse, with respect to straight line driving. However when you turn corners, you actually flatten the tread, with respect to the road surface, hence the tire wear isn't as noticible.
