Curious about camber setting
 
I am not going to do anything like this, but I am curious because I saw an otherwise nice looking lowered twin that had what looked like excessive camber.
How many degrees of camber do you have to have before the average person would look at the car and think, "there is something wrong with that suspension"?

Average person might ask questions around -3 degrees.

Someone with suspension knowledge will laugh at you around -5 degrees.

Past -5 degrees I know that I'm at the wrong car meet and need to go home.

at -7 degrees you get the urge to join in on the fun

at -10 you wake up the next morning with an empty tequilla bottle in your pant pocket and missing a left shoe.


On a more serious note, i could have sworn that back in the day people on RA1's would do -5 to -7 no problem.

On this car at least you'd be hurting yourself with that much. Serious loss of straight line grip and you really just don't need that much.

-4 degrees isn't THAT bad. I edited my ranges to be a little nicer. :lol:
