Suggestions for Negative Camber Specs

[the_vetman]

Hi Keri!!

In stock setting, I'd recommend as much negative camber as is humanly possible. Believe me, it's not all that much (2008 BS and 2011 Boxster Spyder)..

You'll definitely save tire wear with more negative camber on the track (and it helps with turn-in!), but you'll need LCAs (lower control arms) in the front to achieve what is needed. Camber plates also work but IMO LCAs are better.

Currently I run -2.5 F and -2.0 R with the Spyder, though I want to get more negative camber in the rear this year if possible. For R-compounds, even more negative camber may be desired (-3 to -3.5) but such set-up may not be street-friendly.

As far as LCAs, you have some choices. GT3 (with trailing arms), RSS (what I have), and elephant racing (personally only know of 1 guy running this). Please note that only front LCAs are needed for many of us - you can achieve decent rear negative camber with stock suspension.
