Nope, its correct. Rear still has some camber. Stock bolts still. I still have the white line camber bolts packaged. 18x9.5 square, +38 offset. Not sure how low, but I have about a 1 1/2 gap from tire to fender all around. Pics this weekend when I clean the car.

These SPC arms are great. These should have been stock on the car.

Ok I'm just really surprised that you can get away with little to no camber up front with such wide wheels are you running a very stretched tire?

The front camber settings are too wussy. Rear and front toe in? Why?

That's hardly any toe at all. I'd rather have slight toe in for straight line. The front camber isn't necessary unless I'm racing with hard cornering. Besides, I can always adjust that later if I want. This is my DD.

Oh ok I thought you put on some T0s and had lowered bunch more. Good to know also on the SPCa thx!

Hmmmm, I mean if you're happy with how it handles that's good, but honestly that's just way too little camber. I'd expect better and more even tire wear with the alignment that you posted right before that. And of course better handling.

I agree.

This is my current alignment, and after my last road course / auto x I can say i'm VERY happy with the camber settings.

A little toe in at the rear makes sense, but I just don't see any need at the front. But your front camber...slightly positive? Do you not drive in corners at all?

I do, but I don't drive like a racecar everywhere I go.

I may adjust the camber to -1.5 later if I feel the need to. Right now it's pretty crisp and corners well at 0.

@jeebus - when you say slightly positive, are you look at the before measurements section? I'm seeing -1.5 and -1.6 on the screenshot for the current measurements.

I think you're looking at Gopherboy, not FR-S Matt.

@Racecomp Engineering - oops! you're right, forgot who the OP was.

BTW, saving up for some of the Zeros!!!

tarmac 0's 280's to 96734 any service member discounts?

Draco-REX · 09-20-2013, 02:32 PM

Just bolted on a set of T2s with 400/400. Very nice so far. I still need to get the rear camber adjusted, then a full alignment. Then there's tuning them. But initial impressions are surprisingly comfortable.
