Michelin Pilot Super Sports

You don't need to worry about the rear, that just slides around with no real weight on in (if you're doing it right). Why have you got camber on the rear out of interest?? Are we talking a lot??
I run oddly high pressure to keep the carcass stable, seems to do the trick, about 34 cold... but, I have a RWD car, so you may have to experiment, as you're asking different things of them on a FWD car.

I suppose when I say reasonable camber that statement is based on what I can see when I look at the rear tyres, and that is that the outside edge isn't as fully in contact with the road as the inside. It's not significant enough to cause wear issues but you can see the bias when they are dust covered. I'm not an expert in geometry settings but appreciate it's importance. Here's my current settings that were applied when I had my suspension components fitted. Is there any mileage in getting front negative camber moved out towards but not exceeding specification? :popcornsoda:
tony_danza:
That's a 'safe' stock setting. Nothing wrong as such, just not really maximising your mods.
Crudely speaking for fast road, you want as much camber and caster as you can get on the front, I ran 0 toe, out was a bit nervous for a daily driver.
Rear equal - 0.5 degrees less camber than fronts and 0 rear toe.
This will induce a bit more lift off oversteer into it, so if you're not comfortable with that kind of feel, stick to how you've got it.

You should get some Super pro adjustable ball joints to go with your alloy control arms, that will give you an extra -1 degree of camber :driver:
