camber/caster top mounts

rasheedn · 03-21-2008, 09:24 AM

hey guys

currently i have RCE T2s with cusco camber plates front and group N rears

1.5 deg camber upfront and 1 rear

i use the car mainly for autoX

i would like to increase my camber upton turning in. (by increasing castor)
i was talkin to a friend and he said that might help even more to decrease understeer.

so my question here is how do i increase castor??

can i do that with the cusco plates???

i already have an anti-lift kit front and rear arb

what do u guys think??

thanks

free caster mod.

Angle the plates so the slots slide back and in.

1.5 camber up front isn't right at all. are you sure you've got the bolts down below set for max neg camber?

i found this free caster mod. i will try it

so by angling the plates and moving back towards the firewall i'll get more caster right?

how much camber should i run upfront you suggest?

As CLint said..I would even pay MORE attention to the bottom ecentric bolts. MANY alignment techs and shops DO NOT have the alignment program that SHOWS them where the ecentric( adjustment bolt) is on our struts, so they NEVER adjust it. -1.5 ..I can promise you ,..its not adjust to the max on those bottom bolts. You would easily get -2.5 by adjusting that.

But after that, yes you could swap those side to side. That requires breaking it down etc......which is fine.....but an easy option is to get another alignment at a different shop and EXPLAIN top them that they are to ADJUST the bolts on the bottom clevis tabs to make the final adjustment for camber.
