Front camber 5th Gen

Post by jasonxr2racer » Mon Aug 15, 2016 8:21 pm

If any of you guys run front camber how are you achieving this?

Dont seem to be many products over here to do this only in USA

I have a little front camber but not enough as I'm eating tyres in races like theres no tomorrow especially at Anglesey

Just feel I need a bit more

Yepppp I'm using my custom UCA's now.
Set to 2.5 degree negative camber at the front . They are set half way so I recon I can go till atleast 4 degree camber.

So far they are working great but I have so much other problems I hardly had time to play around with them.
The 5 gen are almost the same I think so when I start fabricating the UCA's I will have a look in making some for the 5th.
New topic and pictures will follow.
When interested send me a pm or email davidhes@hotmail.com

Post some pics up as I wolud be interested in some 5th Gen fronts

I just re drilled the bolt holes on the rears to get camber. But it seems I have more on the rear now than front.

Adjustment on the rear would also be ideal

You don't need camber on the rear.
The back needs to be stiff and narrow so you swing it out in the corners. This allows you to enter the corner at higher speed and get your wheels straight and put your foot down .

This is what a chassis expert and my race instructor told me anyway.
So focus on the front.
I had a little accident so no clear pics with camber ..
But will keep you guys informed.

@rattymcclelland didn't get on with a stiff rear end.
He prefers a stiffy in the front.
