How much negative camber in front "should" you run for DD/canyon carving? -2 degrees?

1/2 a degree would be plenty for my sister to get a good run out of her tires. Though she would probably wear the insides more. I like -2.5 and get good wear over the life of the tire with suitable pressures. So it all depends!

That's what sucks about static camber. Have to decide between cornering or even tread wear. In reality, the cost of the rubber wasted is a pittance compared to overall cost of operation/ownership. We're only losing the ability to even out the wear through periodic tire rotation. IMO, for a DD, just toss in some negative and call it good.

I'm like -1.5 or so, plenty of grip for canyon carving but without compromising tires lofe span.

Drove it for the first time since it went into winter storage in October.

Weather forecast was a bit off though. Rainy drives are still fun.

Looked at it. Going up to 15c this week, may take it out of garage, 4 months hibernation
is enough.

Since there are lots of Chocolate Rabbits around for tomorrow its a reminder that you have to pick up a new battery to replace that 8 yr old exhausted one ..

A few days ago, but changed up the gauge cluster face.

Oxyg3n · 04-17-2023, 12:00 AM

Took it to 86 Cafe

almostquick · 04-17-2023, 11:28 AM

Very nice. Where did you get the gauge cluster faces from?

Oxyg3n · 04-17-2023, 06:29 PM

@almostquick thanks. Got them from revlimiter.net

Finally had the time for the Fumoto valve, changed the oil (Idemitsu) and the filters. I was a little concerned due the slope but everything went smoothly.

Her favorite shoes are also on!

Finally got round to booking my BRZeeeeee in to get the KW V3s setup as at the moment it's running with the KW "out of thd box" set-up which is too low for me.. Decided to also have the Superpro rear suspension arms and the toe links installed.. Just curious to see what the extra rear camber adjustment does to the car's handling... The front camber bolts were definitely noticed, sharper turn-in.

So you didn't manage to talk to the guy across the road about using his nice flat driveway?
