Yep I am -2F , -1. Toe is close to zero as possible unless you want to chew up tires

I ran 2 degrees front for a few years. After switching back to .4 degrees it’s anazing how straight the car drives on the highway now, but more steering input is needed to get the car turning.

How straight now ..? Were you driving with toe off to one side?

I always do 0 toe just because I drive on the streets 99% of the time. Sometimes tuner shops would do the whole rear toe thing in the rear but I never minded.

With less camber in the front I can let go of the steering wheel at 80+ mph and it’ll keep driving straight with less input than with the -2 degree setup.

Initial steering also seems heavier but that’s probably due to the tire having more surface contact going straight.

Heoever the car is not as fun on windy roads with less camber. I really have to turn the wheel to get the car to turn.

Whats your camber right now for rear?
I also have -0.4 in front.
Will the tire have even wear? Thanks

I have 1.5 degrees rear camber, dialed it back after my 20mm drop.

I didn’t really notice any change in the wear, camber won’t really affect wear that bad.

Yes to the Whiteline eccentric ones.

[carlovestela]

You think mine was normal? -0.4 front. -2.2 rear?

Yes that’s completely normal with no adjustable bits. My rear camber was 1.5RL and 2.3RR after dropping 20mm. I got the control arms to even things up, which seemed to make the car drive straighter.

Curious as well about your alignment specs. Just interested in seeing what kind of rear camber you had with the RCE Yellow springs.

Ended up going with -2.0 camber and 0 toe up front, and -1.5 camber and 1/16th toe in rear. Of course, the shop didn't hit some of those numbers exactly, but everything was close enough that it shouldn't make a difference.

Don't forget as well, I had SPC camber bolts up front, and SPC lower control arms in the rear in addition to the RCE Yellow Springs.

Car was severely in need of an alignment after the parts install, especially the lower control arms, but luckily I work from home now so I don't need to drive the car on a daily basis.
