What is the consensus on how much camber is too much camber for a daily driver. 0 degrees would probably be preferred and i know that toe is the major contributor in tire wear. I currently have -.5 degrees for my front and i'm looking at installing some oem camber bolts that would give me an additional 1.5-1.7 neg camber (according to this thread https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...dations-2.html ) As a result, I would be running about neg 2-2.2 neg camber in the front.

My question is that would this about of negative camber be too excessive for a daily driver? Also, should i look into adjustable camber bolts with lobes instead of oem camber bolts with a thinner diameter?

I daily drive with -2.4 of camber up front. Thankfully without the need for any camber bolts. No issues with tire wear and I even have a slight bit of toe out up front because I like a car that really handles well.

0 is not preferred really unless you never plan on doing anything but a straight line, but that is impossible as you will always have to make a turn.

 

i ended up getting a max of -1.6-1.5 in the front using ingalls bolts. I was hoping for a bit more, but this should suffice since i don't rub anymore.

 

Toe, not camber, kills tires.

If you go to extremes with camber it will be a problem, but I think anything less 3 degrees would be fine for a daily.

 

I'm crossing my fingers that my bolts will let me get at 2* negative.

 

I will be looking for around -1.5-2* with mine.

 

I ran -1.5 on my old Evo X with no issues. Probably going to the same with my GE.

 

max i could get was 1.6 on driver and around 1.4 or so on passenger

 

I have n eg hatch i use for a daily with 5.5 camber in the front and 6.5 in the rear and its fine not much tire wear really just make sure the toe is good after you add camber the first week i had my fronts cambered it also gave it 2 inches of toe in went through those tires quick but after that all good

 

-3.2* Front and -2* rear. Going for -3* in the rear soon with shims.

 

You're going to be disappointed when you find out you can't get any camber out of the rears unless you cut and reweld the axle..
