Camber Question

How much would my handling improve if I changed my Camber from -0.2 degrees to -0.8 or -1.0? Is it worth it? I have Eibach Pros and SLP Bilsteins.

Thanks,

I'm running -1.3 degrees on my 2002 Z-28 (daily driver) and it is a great improvement. The handling increase is amazing. Tire wear will increase, but I still get 10,000 or more miles out of street tires. Good luck.

Re: Camber Question

I'm running -0.8 now and the handling is VERY good (45+ mph left hand turns at lights <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ). Within the next week or so I'm going to be installing a bump steer kit and having it realigned so I will probubly go up to -1.0. I don't want to go anymore than that for fear of eating up my tires. At $300 a piece for fronts (265/40ZR17s) I HAVE to get some kind of life out of them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
