Originally posted by Water Boy View PostIll have to pick u up on that oneToo much camber and when you brake thefront wheels camber up even more so thats why you need a compremise between the 2 thats goes round corners hard and still haas enough rubber on the road for good braking... So 2.5 dgrees is about right
Next time i'll PM you with a pre warning.
Oh, and by the way, the camber increases only if you have a single arm front end. Dual wishbone moves linear.Last edited by Preen59; 15-07-2008, 07:32 PM.

You actually want neg camber gain(on the working wheel) as your chassis rolls around a corner.
Imagine your chassis is rolling 5 degrees in cornering(not too out of reach for a golf lol) and ur set up with neg 2.5, if your wheel only moves up and down in the same arc your result will be positive 2.5 degrees on the outside wheel. Which equals not nice handling.
You can get all sorts of results from changing the wishbone lengths angles and king pin inclination of a vehicle, obviously it's not cheap or easy to do so. And as we know everything is a compromise.

Good to see you're starting at 90%and working your way up instead of 125% and working your way back..

Did you spot the puff of smoke from the car on the last entry to turn 1?
I found the LHS tyres were running colder than the RHS ones due to all the LH turns.
Next time out at Sandown I might run 1-2 PSI lower on the inside and see if I can get the temps to even out. I was running 24 PSI cold (8degrees) all round (Before anyone tells me I should be running 40+ PSI - These are semi slicks - street tyre logic does not apply ) and aiming for around 30 PSI hot.

I'm trying hard to concentrate on technique for the moment.
