Setting Camber and Stock Camber
 
Should I set front camber depending on how I want the car to feel during autox or is there a set amount of camber that's recommended for all frs'?

Around what is stock camber on an frs with trd springs (.5" drop)?

Front will be very close to stock, rear you'll have around -1.5 to -1.75.

You'll want more static camber up front since the rear has a much better camber curve.

Why more static camber up front if the front is already very close to stock after a .5-.75" drop? Because stock camber is not ideal?

By "more static camber" do you mean positive or negative? I assume negative but unsure since I'm new to suspension mods and setup.

Never mind my questions--I'm reading the stickies so I'll probably answer my own questions soon enough :)

Thanks.

Yep, when I use "more" I meant more negative.

You're also right on why you would want more negative up front. Stock is ~0* and since the camber curve is almost non existent you don't gain (more negative) nearly enough camber as the suspension compresses compared to the rears.

-1.5 up front and -1 in the rear is a good starting point, but will require parts at both ends to adjust the camber. Just adding camber bolts (and maxing them out, then getting a good alignment) will definitely help, especially if it's a really mild drop.
