    Default camber

    hey all im new to here. well. new to toyota. im 16. on my L's. and about to buy a nice e7 soon.

    was just wondering. the e7 im buying does have the adjustable strut tops but. its on full camber and pulling only about 1.5 - 2 degrees. if that. wtf?

    how other then strut tops can you get camber?

    p.s sorry for noob question. youll all probably be getting alot of them from me

    assuming that is negative 1.5 to 2 deg that should easily be fine to start with.

    If that isn't enough read the lower control arm thread in the tech articles forum...

    Thats all camber tops will give you, 10mm longer lower control arms will give you another 1 degree or so.

    -2 is enough for street use will still kill ur tyres fairly quick, so if i were you and guessing you dont have much cash just leave it at -2 at max cause you probably dont have money to fork out for new fronts all the time
