Talk to me about front camber etc

[16v_paddy]

Here's what I'm after, I want to figure out the best option for the front suspension on my track car and it's this picture of the camber that's got me thinking

How much camber is too much, what's optimal for track use? That pic is with williams bottom arms & valver shocks. I've got camber bolts so I've also got room for adjustment. In a nutshell what shocks should I buy? I'm considering williams fitment, cup racer and valver fitment.


Has anyone got geometry settings written down for comparison?

The cup cars ran a R19 wishbones and a valver strut (pre williams) - this gives around 3degrees of negative camber.

Adjustable top mounts would be my next step if i was to modify to pull the strut away from the tyre / wheel. But you need to determin what amount of camber you need after measuring the tyre temps....its no good having a red hot inner tyre if your out part of the tyre is cold within reason.

As Northy says 3deg seems to work well its what I ran and not to twitchy along straights with good tyre wear.
