Camber settings...

[EK Civic R]

For all those with camber kits on their lowered rides...

What camber setting are you guys running with what size rims??

I'm on stock euro sport rims with -1.7@front & -1.5@rear, I want to make the car handle better, but the consequence with more camber is faster tyre wear, how much life are you getting out of your tires with your settings??

[bennjamin]

for daily driving you want as close to 0 front n rear as possible.
Also look at your TOE - this is entirely relevant to tyre wear as camber is. Set it to 0 as well.

Yea,
toe is at -0.6@front and -0.3@rear..
So far with the settings I have the handling has really improved and tyr wear isn't bad, I want to give a little more to get better, but I guess my question is what camber/toe settings and how ppl are finding tyre wear is..

[akina]

i am -1 front -1.5 rear, the wear isn't that extreme or noticeable.

[siknis]

if you want somthing really for aggressive driving,

4deg toe in front 1deg in rear

front camber was -2deg(no adjustment) rear at -3deg...

car was very low and very stiff on the damper... i was amazed with how well it could go around the corner, i put alota toe on the front as it helped for inital turn in as the car has bad understeer standard factory setup

lol crazy your made of money for rubber.

4deg toe.... damn,
whats the reason for having more camber at the rear??
Is it because of how much you lowered your car?

he said 4deg front
1 deg rear
reduce understeer but increase tyre wear and for show cars awesome look.

You have odd toe settings.... I'd set this way for handling:
Front camber: -2 deg
Rear camber: -0.5 deg
Front toe: -1.0mm total toe out
Rear toe: +0.5mm total toe in

[Crapdaz]

Front camber: -2 deg
Rear camber: -0.5 deg
Front toe: -1.0mm total toe out
Rear toe: +0.5mm total toe in

Is that considered the ideal camber/toe for good performance and least wear?

may sound stupid but without front camberkit can the front camber be changed at all and toe angle(front and rear) ?

There is no ideal. Everything is a compromise. If you use the most aggressive setting to reduce as much understeer as possible, then you can't drive on the straight freeway at 110km/h without gripping your steering wheel tightly because of tramlining. Those are settings that I would put on my car if I had a front camber kit. :)

Front neg camber is more than rear for better tyre contact patch at the front during hard cornering. Front toe out gives good steering response, while reducing rear toe in from the stock +2mm total toe in will reduce straight line stability but decrease understeer.

Tyre wear? I don't take that into account because on the track, your tyres wear quicker from the hard cornering than it does from the camber/toe settings. :)

If it is only for street, even the stock setting is good enough when driving/cornering at legal speeds.

Based on what aaron said I have neutral camber and -1 degree toe out at front and 0 toe at rear.

Handles evenly and very well balanced. Turns in like a champ and tracks WAY better than stock at speed. i have Teinn SS also and the ingalls.
