Thanks for the info guys! Maybe -2 to -3 is too
much...I just didn't know any better!!! Autox is
the reason for doing this but I still want to drive
on the streets. I'm also looking into putting
competition springs on the front. Are the ones that
VB carries worth the money or should I look to
another source? At the last autox, the front wheels
seemed to have a push on tightest highest speed
corners. This is the challenge that I want to work
on!! The rear spring seem to be somewhat shot so I
plan to leave it alone for now. Rear tires are
showing some neg. camber now.

PS I like the idea of making my own shims.
VB gets something like 2.95 each!
PSS Is there a way a layman(like myself)
can measure camber?

Dave,
Firstly, why would you possibly want that much
negative camber in front?
Usually about 1.5 is ideal for autocrossing.
Secondly, if you want that much negative camber,
get more shims... Lots of
them! Or better still, take a single shim and use
it as a pattern to make
some out of 1" aluminum stock. Starting from there
you won't need as many
to achive such a drastic amount of nagative camber.
Regards,
Joe
