[bennjamin]

Are you sure ? lol.

Are you sure ? lol.

I dont think so.. but could be wrong hahahaha.

[bennjamin]

just teasing ya man. FYI you have machpherson struts (shock and coil in one combo) AND double wishbones front n rear lol.

Anyway why u want such negative camber @ front ? purely for handling around wakie ?

Im not sure if you are right about that one man.

shocks inside coil is called a strut.

DC5 have a macpherson setup and EK,dc,eg have a double wish bone setup..

can someone confirm..


And yes i want more camber for faster turn in... heheeheheh

I want to do supersprint next year.. eheheh

OMg get yourself a camber kit already...

Wakefield is not friendly for lowered cars if you go off track unless your not a pro driver and stay on the track

lol......yes you said it yourself, shock inside a coil, you have that, so you have a macpherson strut which is attached on either end of a wishbone making it a double wishbone setup dampered by a macpherson strut setup.

Buy adjustable camber pillowmounts and if you go too low you're going to exceed the roll centre of the car completely stuffing your handling.

Please refer :

From article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_wishbone

A single wishbones or A-arms are used in various other suspension types, such as MacPherson strut and Chapman strut.

From article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPherson_strut

It is not generally considered to give as good handling as double wishbone suspensions, because it allows the engineers less freedom to choose camber change and roll center.

Ok Blitz lol.


The term "machperson strut " directly refers to a "all in one" shock/spring combo. (IE any eg or ek shock).
The DC5 is still a machpershon strut , just single wishbone on the front and the steering arm connects directly to the shock.






Anyway , perhaps get a frontal castor kit if you want to increase turn in and response.

A Shock/Spring combo is called a coilover system which is found in various suspension designs - Macpherson or double wishbone.

The Eg Civic doesn't have a Macpherson on the rear simply because the coilover does not control the position/angle of the wheel.

read aarons article man...


mcpherson strut setup is a setup which utilises the strut as a mount point for the hub...
mcpherson strut is a single wishbone setup.


Double wishbone setup uses and extended the hub carrier outwards from the chasis... EG. double A arms


I think what you were referring to is : -
coil over strut setup.. nothing to do with macpherson strut
