    i run neg 2.5. u can really feel that the tyre has max grip during heavy cornering so i know thats pretty much the sweet spot for my set up

    3 degrees is too much for a daily drivien car,
    1.5-2 is way more practical and wont chew out tyres as quick.

    i think 3ish is good. if you do a fair amount of hard driving and drifting your tires will wear evenly even at that setting. with drift you intentionally throw the car onto the outside loaded wheel really hard, so the recommendation of 1.5-2 degrees being the most you can take advantage of with a road tire doesnt really apply to a drift car.

    the extra camber helps with wheel fitment too. i would rather have too much camber than too little.

    indubitably,

    another cool thing to do if you ever get bored, can be used for various applications, but basically get a piece of chalk and draw a line going from your trread to a little way up your sidewall, and after a bit of driving, depending on what you are building the car for, you can see how much your tyre is actually rolling outwards, how much of your tread has actually hit the black top.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (driftke70 @ Oct 2 2008, 08:04 PM) </div>Fucking good idea.

    Have also read that by using temp sensing gun on the inner, middle and outer part of the tyre after a hard run will tell you whether you need to run more or less.

    I'm under the impression that the bigger the sidewall, the more camber you should run as the tyre will want to 'fold' over more than a low profile tyre.

    eg compare 195/50 to a 185/60.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (slydar @ Oct 2 2008, 06:07 PM) </div>..just dont try and pull quickly in a straight line as you have bugger all front tyre tread contact! Your usually better to have more castor then just loads of camber, as caster adds dynamic camber when turning.
