Re: camber settings

["rocco16v" <rocco16v@netzero.net>]

In his book, VOLKSWAGEN SPORT TUNING for Street and Competition, Per
Schroeder says,"Depending on exact tire type and size, the optimal settings
should be around 2 degrees negative camber in the front, with 1/8 to 1/4inch
toe-out. Cars that are driven primarily on the street might want....1 1/4
negative camber and 1/16inch toe-out...."  He also qualifies this
information by adding that the optimum for YOUR car can only be determined
by trial-and-error, since there is an infinite combinations of chassis,
springs, dampers, sway-bars, bushings, wheels, tires, tire pressures, car
wight, etc.  He advises using the above numbers as "good starting points."
good luck and enjoy the ride

Subject: camber settings


> i know this has probably been asked before, but I did search the archives
and it didn't really help me much.  The car is an 88 16v and i'm getting new
tires soon and need to get an alignment as well.  This car is my daily
driver, and will also be auto-xed in April.  So my question is, what is the
ideal camber value for a daily driven and auto-xed car.  TIA
