front camber recomendations
 

I have lowered my car to a point were my camber is now comming back out to zero. I am having some rubbing problems on the inner lips of the front fenders (which have already been trimmed). I would like to dial in more camber but my factory adjustment is maxed out. Can anybody recommend an after market manufacturer of camber plates without (and here's the catch) going to a mono-ball setup. I'm afraid if I go to a mono-ball the ride might be too much for the street.

P.S.- I don't want to raise it. :roll:

Thanks,
Ted Thomas

Ted, how low is it, measuring at the wheels?

how low?
 

Bill,
I'll measure tonight and get back to you. Do I measure from the fender lip?

Ted

Yeah, I think so. I measured mine the other day and they all seemed to be different. :roll:

Ted,
What is your ride height??

I'm at 24.5/24 and can get 1.8 degrees of camber on the fronts.
It is considered acceptable to remove some material from around the upper shock tower holes to get the required setting. Careful work with a die grinder, the POR15 and paint. I did a little of this clearancing on one side to get an equal 1.8 each side.

Do a search on Pelican - there are some good posts with pics.

You should be able to get this setp correctly without resorting to after-market camber plates.

Ted,
See my post on the other instance of this thread - under Tech Discussions.

ride height
 

Sorry for not getting back sooner. My rid height is:
Front drivers- 24 1/4"
Front pass.- 24 3/4"
Rear drivers- 23 1/2"
Rear pass.- 23/ 5/8"

Give or take an 8th. Trying to find even pavement around here is like trying to find a quiet politician on the Hill! :roll:

Most “experts agree that the front should be ½” higher than the back. 24.5” in front is probally as low as you should go. If you have an SC or post ‘75 911 did you remove the large washer at the top of the front struts? If not you are probally pre-loading the front suspension to the point of binding. Try raising the rear pasenger side 1/8” to 1/4”, it should lower the drivers front about an equal amount. Anyway, you should be able to get 1.0 to 1.5 negative w/out modifying the struts. There is likely something else wrong if you cant but... if you really want, try Performance Products. I believe they sell non mono ball adjusters.

I always thought the back should be 1/2" higher than the front, giving the car a slight downward rake from back to front. It seems everyone is going lower in the back. Any comments on which is correct? I think BA recommends 24/24.5 for ride height.

Chris,

24.5/25 = back/front.

The front measurement is supposed the be .5" higher then the back. I don't know if the front physically sits higher and the rake levels out at speed due to downforce, or the fender to ground clearances are different front and rear.
