camber question?
Is it possible to camber the stock shock so that the top of the tire is leaned in more sort of for drifting, i heard it was possible but im not 100% sure
any help/suggestion's i have sportmax 002 15x8 205/50/15 in the rear i just want to tuck the top in a little |
you can only get so much camber on stock suspension
I suggest you stretch 185's over those 15*8 wheels for extreme drift performance |
You can get plenty of negative camber.

yeah, about -4* and 165-70/R15 will stretch beautifully over a 15X8 wheel
|
very nice is it pretty easy to do it your self or will i have to bring it to my local mazda shop..also i have stock shocks with eibach ground control coilover sleves
|
Take it to any alignment shop and ask them to get as much negative camber as possible if you want that, you can usually get to -2.5 -3 if you're not too low, but I think that's too much camber for drifting, you want to stay somewhere around -1.8 -2*.

haha funny any ways i went there today and they told me if i could get the whole alignment set up it would be easier for them..so if you could help me with a good set up with the camber caster and toe that would be great.

FRONT:
---------- -1.5 camber Maxed Caster (give up caster to achieve camber, make certain it's equal on both sides) 1/16" toe out REAR: ----------- -2.0 camber 1/16" toe in that's fairly agressive, tire wear is normal, turn in is great. if you don't need it, then maybe -1.3F and -1.7R |

yes. fixed.
fwiw, i just dropped my car off to go, -1.7F -2.3R with 200lbs ballasted in the driver seat. |
If you're gonna do a lot of drifting, I suggest to get some more negative camber on the front, somewhere around -2.
|
yeah oh that looks really good
thanks peeps :) |
here are alignment specs for drifting:
Front: Camber: -2 deg Caster: max Toe: 1/16" out Rear: Camber: 0 deg Caster: n/a Toe: 0 |
the idea is to have max grip up front and no grip in rear

I don't get why you'd want more camber in the rear then the front.....
I've always run -1.9f and -1.2 R and loved it.....with 0 toe all the way around (helps with wear) |
a typical spec miata alignment would be -2.0F and -2.5R......
|
yeah but he is a driftomaniac with madtyteJDMness, needs more camber in the front
