fuck, I would agree with you if this wasn't my DD. haha. I would love to throw in some spacers and addz te cambahh, but fuck.. i got no bread for new sets of tires every couple of months, haha

i daily'd -4 for 2 years dog.

same tires till the very last little while then i put the traction bar on and toe angle was introduced lol.

tires lasted 3 days while literally screaming down the road in a straight line.

then i went over the normal wall into wtf.

your wheel and tire has a say so in the camber wear also man. i have a 1.5 drop and i chewed up 18's like nothing so i sold the wheels and went with a fat boy 195/60/15 and wow its changed.

im droped now with running a 205/50/15 and its kinda silly on the inside but i know i need a lineup bad. to help out i am also running a neogen tire and it wears great for a lowered car.

ps whats a decent camber settings for great handling and doesnt chew tires?

like i said, i daily'd -4 for 2 years on 215/45/17 and had the same tires..

but for you "oem" people, id say -1 or less so you dont cry

uhh did i miss something but didn't you say your camber is negative 3.5 and the camber kits are 3.0??? you living with negative .5 then?

OHHH btw, i have the ingalls, i think spc is replica because they look exactly the same, but mine has a 2.0 degree adjustment and i'm maxed out but the mid plate hits my fender well on bumps, so i put it to negative .8 or .9 so i can hit bumps without hearing/feeling the CLUNK on bumps. i get neg.camber wear...

Once i get my kit, im aligning it to around -1. I have room to play with. thinking about spacers tho in the future

IMO, when grip is the priority for cars saddled with Mac Struts that have any significant body roll, big neg camber angles are more or less required. On the other hand, big neg camber angles are counter productive if the car has half way decent suspension geometry (e.g. CB7 front ends).

FWIW, with a good double wishbone suspension I would aim keep neg camber below 1°. Note the camber on many of the more desireable 'supercars' such as Ferrari, Aston Martin etc, the camber is not far away from zero. Note that Porshe 911s are not relevant to this because they have crappy Mac Strut front ends...
