    Rear camber setting

    Heading to the Line-Up shop tomorrow to get my alignment dialed in with new tires, RTAB's, sub-frame bushings and the dungeon weld in kit.

    I know this topic has been discussed ad nauseam, but what's a good rear camber setting for aggressive DD? How far past stock can you go before tread-life becomes a real issue, any ideas? Would like my tires to last, but with the heavy M30 need some help cornering as well. In the end though, I guess tread-wear is most important.

    Fix the toe as best as possible and camber will barely be a concern. 2 degrees is a pretty good performance setting for the rear, although it really depends on the rest of your setup.

      I was gonna say, it is toe that kills tires, not camber so much.

        Great, Thanks. So the difference between -0-1* and -2* is enough to notice performance wise but not enough to make a huge difference on tire wear?

          I'd suggest 2deg of camber and 1/16" total toe in.
          The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

            as for as how far you go before camber really eats tyres etc, i'd say -5 upwards.
            before then provided your align is otherwise sweet then you'll be right
