Rear Camber - Help !

Hi,

I have installed new Coilover`s.

I do not have Camber Plates (yet).

The best setting we can get is :

F camber -1 / Toe in 0

R camber -1.5 / Toe in 0

As you can see I have more camber in the back then in the front. I had to do so to get the zero toe in or I would have toe out which looked more of a problem to me !!!

So far car feels very responsive and turnin is good.

What can I expect ?? Uncontrolabl oversteer ???

Thanks.

You will have understeer, not oversteer. I had the same problem setting my car up for the track. You can raise the rear ride height a bit, and that will allow you to run less rear camber while still maintaining 0 toe.
Personally, I like -1 to -1.5 camber in the rear, but mate that to about -3 camber in the front. For the street, -2 front and -1 rear (again, raise rear ride height to achieve this)
Tip: the more you play with alignment-buy spare toe and camber adjustment bolts, as they tend to strip.

Thanks, I was sure that having more camber in the rear then in the front will cause Oversteer ! (toe being 0 all round).

More negative rear camber will increase rear traction while cornering. More traction in back and less in front=car pushes or "understeers.
