I’m putting this in Motorsports because these settings are ideal for track use only.
I was only running about -2 degrees camber in front before and it was great but I was wearing the outside of my tires a little bit more than rest and I knew I could get some more but I never thought I would get this much!
Today I took my car to my local race shop and told them to dig into it and grind shims, remove shims and do whatever they could and see what they come up with to get me the most negative camber possible.
Result is -3.8 and -3.9 camber on front Wow didn’t see that coming!
We left the rears at about -2.6 and that’s a good setting.
My local race shop runs up to -4.3 degrees camber depending on the track on their spec E46 race cars that are about 2,600 pounds in about 235 HP it’s not a whole lot different than the 4C. And their best drivers do 1:34 lap times at SCR which is very fast especially considering that lower horsepower. So I know they’re set up right. And yes we talked about the possibility of less braking ability with this larger camber but I don’t brake for that long and I’ve got braking to spare. I’m really hoping to gain higher speeds in the turns especially the ones before the straightaways. I need as much speed as possible going into the straightaways to stave off the high horsepower cars.
I know some of you will say this is too much camber but I’m comfortable with these settings and I trust my local race shop owners advise a lot.
But don’t be concerned about voicing your opinion if you think there is something better or this is not right. I’m working to be less reactionary if anybody that tells me I’m crazy in what I’m doing with my car. And then I just go and do what I think is right or want to do anyway LOL.
Plan is put on my brand new set of tires and go to ORP for one track day and then back to the shop and we will look at the tires and then we’ll know what it needs if anything. That’s the best way to know.
Driving it home from the shop today I could tell it has a lot more bite in turns but can’t nor will I do much on the street. But it does feel incredible and like a go-cart.
But amazingly still quite streetable and not much different. It has a little bit more wandering on rough roads but on smooth roads still very easy to drive.
Getting really pumped for my July 20 event at Laguna Seca, could be something special. Also my dream of pulling a sustained 2Gs on DOT slicks in sweeper turns is now possible again..but probably unlikely..probably
