Camber ?

But more negative camber on the rear and zero camber on the front = more grip on the rear than the front when cornering hard = understeer.

Ingalls camber kit, $220 landed. Get it installed (easy, can DIY), and then get an alignment.

$220, is that from a Trader here aaronng?

When the car is lowered the suspension geometry changes and the top of the wheel is pulled in (or bottom pushed out), to try and keep the equilibrium in the suspension (hence negative camber).

The rear camber kit allows you to control the how far the top (or bottom) of the wheel is pulled in (or pushed out), hence controlling the camber.

Thats how i understand it anyway, correct me if im wrong.

sortof, but its basicly the suspension following an arc at a set radius. the suspensions travel starts at 90deg which is parralel to ground, then progresses to 45deg which is full suspension compression, also resulting in alot of camber. its pretty simple lots of pic's on the net. check out wiki

cant belive people were complaining about 3deg! i had -8deg on the rear... now i have -1.5 :p

ingalls ftw

-8deg?!?! How much you lower your car...

Damn.. I thought mine was bad

i have just bought an ingalls camber kit for my 04 euro.. does anyone have a DIY write up on how to install these, or can anyone recommend a place in melb (south east area) that can install it for me ???

any alignment place will get them installed and aligned normally, but just need to call around. Peddars might or your general workshops.

Bob jane etc won't do it cause they refused to even align my car.

lower? no lower.... lowering of the car myself is free, but install was mates rates for tein monoflex coilovers.

camber was installed by my mate, included in a few things i got done,

Alignment depending where you go should be around $60-110

My ingalls camberkit was picked up for $250 or so late 2007 so was cheap.
