    0 Degree Camber

    I got my camber set at 0 degrees the other day once I put on my camber kit and it feels like the car rides even better. Anyone on here got their camber set at 0? What's your opinion?

    NO camber, booooooooo, the only way to ride is at 2.5-3* negative camber.

    No Camber doesnt give you more HP it increases your ability to throw it through corners and drift, as to impress the ladies. It will work like added HP though in its enhancement of your third leg.

    camber is the degree that the wheels pivot off vertical center when the wheel is turned right? in simplest terms?

    Negative camber is where the tops of the wheels are closer together than the bottoms, which improves handleing, posative camber is where the tops of the wheels are furthur from each other than the bottoms, this very negativly effects handleing by causing the tire to roll and deflect more during high cornering loads.

    not on $1000 tires. if i ran 16" or 17" tires then i wouldn't care as much... good 19" tires cost more than most wheels.

    I had -2.75 in the rears. I got the ingalls camber kit, and change it to
    -0.25. I didn't feel like going through tires every 6 months.

    having more than 1-2* of negative camber is ridiculous for everyone here unless they're going to open track events every weekend. you don't drive racecars.....FACTORY spec camber (which may or may not be 0*) is what you want to set the car, since i doubt any of you are constantly pushing the limits of your cars with highly modified suspension, bushings, heavy duty sway bars, custom wide wheels....

    Negative or Positive camber will eat tires up.

    Like what Matt said...alot of us aren't exceeding the limits of the suspension of our cars because majority use their cars for daily driving.

    Wow... I'm an alignment tech, and I have never seen a toe out that much in the rear. Looks like you have all-wheel steering. You should get that fixed asap.

    All four corners are adjustable to toe. The only thing that's not adjustable is camber. Camber can only be adjusted by camber kits.
