Yes.



The "OEM crash bolt" is essentially using another set of the OEM lower bolts in the top hole/slot. The standard OEM bolt for the top hole has a shoulder which takes up space and prevents...

You know, that would certainly explain the camber problem. Yes, just used the OE bolts in the proper locations.

Akshually...

Wheel rate (what matters) is spring rate x motion ratio *squared*, so with 9 kg/mm springs in back, wheel rate is 9 kg/mm * (0.75)^2 = 5 kg/mm

I don't get why so many suppliers...

I'm coming into this a bit late with all the responses. I think your camber is generally ok. I run -4F/-2.5R, so you're at least in the ballpark. I also run 6k springs all around vs your 7k, but...

GR86 - Understeer Alleviation - RCE Tarmac 2 (7k square setup)

Already have rake, so it seems it’s either the body is too low and needs to be raised. Like 949 says here or we need to first try the 8k rear spring and then if still needing more, I could try the...

When I ran square (400/400), I messed around from 25 to 35 and it seemed to make no difference on the clock for me. I settled on 32/32 for optimal wear.
