    People with GC Camber Plates.

    Well i just finished my groundcontrol setup.

    GC konis
    GC coilovers 500/650
    GC camber plates
    in addition to H&R swaybars and adjustable endlinks.

    My question is about the front camber plates. I am going to run a little camber, but i know for a fact i dont want to run anything over 2 degrees. The car is street driven, but not everyday because i have a daily driver, I autocross and i hope to see a track event very soon.

    As of right now i am sitting at 1.5 degrees of camber, and i am wondering what everyone else is running to judge what would be the best for my application.

    If you don't daily drive the car I wouldn't be afraid to throw in a lot of camber. I've dailied my car for a long time with almost 3 degrees on all 4 corners and I don't get too bad camber wear.

          When the insides were gone I probably only had about 20% of the tire left on the outside.

                  Thats not too bad, I would have thought you rip through tires faster.

                  Can you snap me a picture of the rear tire from about the door?

                    Sounds like you have something bent in the rear.

                    Projectz, do you mean a view of the tire if I am standing forward of it around the door?

                        2.3 on one side and 2.7 on the other.

                          Dont forget that the bushings could also cause camber issues. Maybe not that extreme, but the trailing arm bushings would make a difference if they were real bad.

                            Thats it, please.

                            I think my car makes it look worse because of the wider fenders.

                              That's true, but they would have to be really torn up. It's possible though.
