    Front Camber Kit Nearly Ready!

    After a few weeks of tinkering, I think we have finally got a cost effective and reliable solution for extra front camber.

    I am installing the plates with 12.9 Gauge High Tensile Self Locking bolts next week. Will dial in some neg camber and head out to the race track for some testing!

    Good man, Beez!



    Did you use another kit as a model? Porsche or Ferrari after-market kit?
    Any pics?????

    As you know, added neg camber will always make a car grip better, but it also takes away from straight line top speed. You gotta find the happy medium. Use a tire temperature gauge (pyrometer) and measure temps across the tire. Once temps are equal across tire then you are good.

    Bon Chance!

    UPDATE
    ******

    We used 1 x 5mm plate on all the front lower control arms. Therefore, 4 plates required upfront.

    Got around 3 Degrees Negative Camber now!

    See pics below...

    Will be track testing in a few weeks with Hoosiers!
