Installed springs shocks and camber plates
I just got my car back yesterday from the Valley Motorworks in Sacramento. Originally I just wanted to install some camber plates, due to the fact that I was destroying the outside corners on my front tires when auto crossing. Since the owner of the shop had some slightly used Eibach sport springs and Koni adjustable dampers I decided to go for it and have him "drop" the car along with installing Vorschlag adjustable camber plates.
I was a little shocked at first, how much the front wheels "tucked" in under the fender, when I first saw it and actually do not like the look of that. Looks too slammed. The rear looks great and I'm sure the front would look good also, if I were to reduce the camber setting. Right now the front camber is set to almost max (I think 2.5 deg) and I can always go and do about half of that I suppose. I'm attending an auto x tomorrow and I'm going to see how it goes. Maybe the rear is going to be to tail happy with the front having a lot more bite. If that is the case I will most likely reduce the amount of camber and hopefully find a good compromise of auto x tire saving versus looks and street performance. The other alternative would be wheel spacers up front. The question is how much. Anybody have input on how much I can add? |
