Thread: Camber question

  1. #1

    Camber question

    Am I correct in thinking that if I drop the front end of the car by using a shorter spring or damper then the camber will no longer be at default values?

    Reason I'm asking is that I would like to retain original camber values but do not want to be using camber correcting bolts.
    Thanks.

    why not using camber correcting bolts..

    nothing to say that the current valves are any where near the recommend settings anyway..

    you lost me there maxiboy. wadda you meena valves?

    current values are default factory settings.

    I'm thinking of changing the front damper or spring.
    The spring being a 172 cup one or the the damper being a billie B6.
    The cup spring will drop it about 5mm according tp the search history book.

    So I would like to know will the suspension geo change? i.e the camber

    A 5mm drop will give a negligible change toward negative camber. Negative will improve some conditions such as potential cornering grip, but potentially reduce straight line stability.

    I've tested it a lot on my car.
