Recommended Camber Setting
I am going to modify my front end for improved performance at the track
(recently discovered that the left front camber was positive and cant be made negative without some surgery) and was hoping that someone could give me some general purpose track settings for camber - so I know how much to take out of the frame. ta LoBelly |
I would shoot for between -1 and -2 degrees. There are a lot of variables and your tire tempurature readings at the track will help you determine what is right for your car.

Thankyou :)

LoBelly, Do you need much on the left to go negative?.
Going back a way some RMC owners machined off the inside face of the upper arm pivot shaft. (the one with two bolts attaching it to the chassis plate). The bolt thru part of the shaft is thicker than the part the upper arm bushes pivot on....It's not much....but may help. Cheers |
Thanks for the suggestion Les
My last trip under the car on Saturday was to pull the diff - only spent a small amount of time looking at the upper arms. Considering adjustable upper arms a-la factory five but that requires planning - whereas access to a nice slab of steel, a cut off wheel and a mig does not (not much anyway) Would anyone like to check my maths for how far inward I would have to move my upper arm mounts. I think that if I wanted (say) -3deg and the wheel is currently at 0deg and the upper arm is 196mm (8in) above the centre point of the front wheel I would have to move the top mount in by the result 196mm x cosine of 87 deg (0.0523) = 10.2508mm Am I looking at this the right way? (kinda makes my brain hurt - my have to consult my local New Zealander). LoBelly |
57-65-05 of my trusty Jag manual says:
bla, bla bla, and a change of 1/16" (1.6mm) in shims will alter camber angle by approx. 1/4 deg. But....... we don't really know if the RMC has the same pick up points do we?. You're welcome :) |
There is one fella up here that would be able to guide you and that is...
OzVenom ..... He might not tell you his secrets for RMC front ends but he sure knows how to make em work. Cheers Les |
