FA500 V5 help
 
So dealership aligned my car and told me the most camber they could get out of the front was -2. Im setting up for drift day and wanted -3. Any ideas?

You want to provide some details?

Top hats? Coils? camber bolts? ???

The title says FA500. I was able to easily get -2.5 with the FA 500 with top hats.

Run a bit less pressure in front tires to add a bit more grip there as quick interim solution prior purchasing anything for dialing more camber?

ambigious question gets ambiguous responses!

anything should give you more camber. Id probably just grab a hammer and smack it out a lil farther, thatll do :)

Why are you convinced you need -3 degrees of camber and why are you going to a dealer to set your car up for a "drift" alignment?

Go to an actual performance alignment shop. I got more then that with just camber bolts on RCE yellow springs.

Dealers are not the place to get your car set up for drift/track/autox/etc.

Honestly I dont think I will get much camber out of mine but I also was prepared with camberbolts because why would I spend nearly 2k on coils and not $30 on camber bolts lol

Dealer because it was already there. Convinced because everyone who drifts that i have asked uses at least -3 camber in front

Just got an email from fa. They said on the frs we only get 2.5 with their set up and camber bolts will be needed
