increasing camber?

[dylanstone]

just curious as to how increase the camber, if anyone knows ?

something like this lol?

[sxc_sound]

Get a camber kit fitted so you can actually adjust it. Otherwize. The lower it goes the more camber you get lol

[wamboin23]

before you do this, the most important thing you can do is make sure that you have plenty of shares in a tyre company.

[dylanstone]

ah so a camber kit is the go, yeh i already get wear of about a 10 mm line around the inside of the tyre. but is its coooooooooooool lol

[Zeussy]

LOLwut?!!

I'm buying another crossmember to try and take out some of the camber in mine? Why you would want more, for anything other than a show car, has me

Camber kit, adjusted to max camber would give you a little more, but nowhere near whats in the pics of that wagon. The rear suspension just isn't designed to have that much with out major mods.

[hakhawk]

camber without proper wheel fitment is far from "coooooool". most commodore owners havent reached beyond "its for a commodore and it fits".

get a camber adjust kti and dial it in for maximum negative camber, but its not something needed unless you're rocking looooow offset wheels that need it.

[dylanstone]

yeh yeh i know, i like the look, not gonna go that low

just a future plan maybe

offset ><

camber is a tyre wearing angle and in the wet it will be a pig DONT BOTHER UNLESS YOU GOT DEEP POCKETS and a broken thinking cap...
note: all camber threads should be deleted unless on how to restore camber.....
personal opinion

[dylanstone]

deleted?
its a question, not illegal or stupid
i understand the pic i supplied was over the top but you get the idea, dont get your panties in a knot

cheers.

[M01ST]

just chop ure springs that will get u the desired effect!!

[db_notso]

*untwisting panties*
right thats better
by leaning your tyres inwards more than specification (by a lot)
you WILL wear out tyres frequently
you WILL have a higher chance of chucking burnouts
you WILL think it looks cool
you WILL eventually regret it
when you cant afford any more tyres plus too much camber will make the steering touchy over bumps and make high speed runs a little harder too keep straight
only really good between 40 and 180 km/hr on a track...
once again as i said my opinion... no need to take it as a personal attack man
oh and it is illegal in queensland they call it an unsafe alignment here
*waives peace flag, throws dove towards sky*

[dylanstone]

lol na just rear camber, not the front
i know all about responsiveness and how it affects handling blah blah blah
just wanted to know "how" you can achieve this "increased camber"

MO1ST - thanks for the input i can tell your an intelligent individual

[db_notso]

lol rear camber affects handling....
by lowering the rear e.g. superlows you could get the MORE camber look
but you will have to lower the front too or youll end up with one wonky looking ride

[dylanstone]

it wont at speeds as db_notso said
i dont think the sensitivity changes
anyways i got what i wanted thanks to who helped

[db_notso]

...
well go see a specialist guys like fulcrum they will explain all you need to know
if you dont want to hear it from me

[dylanstone]

oh no , not that i mind hearing it
i love to learn, so adjusting the camber in the rear does affect handling?

[db_notso]

yes it affects power to the road especially on cornering under acceleration (rear im talking bout here)

like a little extra camber (front or rear) is good for handling around corners
a lot is bad think of your tyres as hard flat surfaces that contact the road on a corner you want as much tyre to contact the road
the same goes for rear when you accelerate
and all four tyres when you brake

so it gets more in depth from here like under acceleration the front end lifts up and the camber changes in the front outside of tyres go inwards and in the rear it sqauts outside goes outwards
(think of a swing and the flat part of your tyres is sitting sideways on it)

this movement is where you need to find the balance between braking and accelerating (e.g. suspension balancing)

so harder shocks hold the car stiffer under changes when under load (braking corners accel) as do springs
look it gets pretty intense with suspension
the best fit for most is some lowered springs and a strut tower bar (most street c'dores)
to me next up is shocks and springs and swaybars upgraded
and the best is coilovers sway bars and tower bars and chassis stiffening (cage)
the difference is how much money you want to spend and what the car is most used for
e.g. daily driver, track or racing?

for me in a vt v6 (daily driver)
it was tower bar (front)
springs
wider wheels and better tyres
this gave me the balance i wanted for everyday use

Bwahahahaha,that car looks so shitty, I saw a car in the heart of Brisbane with even more camber and it still looked shitty, and yes I did point and laugh.

Tyres wouldn't last long, handling would be shit and if you take a corner even a little to fast the back will swing out due to no grip. Oh did I mention it looks shit and is most likely a defect. Cops would be on you like flies on shit.

[Zeussy]

...... Cops would be on you like flies on shit.

Zactly, that shit looks broken

Like I can appreciate it looks cool, but, not on MY car... On someone elses car

[db_notso]

dont be to harsh peeps i think he gets the idea now...

[sxc_sound]

lol. so many haters. All you need is a camber kit. job done. My car is on SL all round and had negative 4 degrees camber. I then put a camber kit in and corrected it perfectly. Looking at the adjustments there is alot of room to move in the other direction. im sure you could easily get it to 6-7+ negative degrees camber.

[soop]

Excessive camber makes the car look like its been kicked in the nuts...

yeh thanks man, as i said earlier I AM CURIOUS as to how its achieved

people need to calm down

[aazn]

just lowering the car will give you more camber..

take this car for example.



its sitting on a set of coilovers. (tien HR's) alot of camber. but its for show only..

for a commodore.. they already have excessive camber.. with a camber kit, you will be lucky to add another 1 deg.
