-3 camber up front lololol

Alignment:
-3 front camber
0 front toe
-2 rear camber
rear toe put to OE settings (maintain inherit rear end bite + allow for hitting the throttle sooner to take advantage of the active diff).

OK so I put the bars, upper control arms and coilovers on the car.
To put it shortly, the car is transformed through and through. It now turns in with the same immediacy as the Boss 302, but has cornering limits so high that it cannot be explored on the street (the Boss nor M3 had this ability). The front-end grip is so abundant with the new alignment that I can be as aggressive with the throttle as I like – beit on corner entry, or mid corner. The front end doesn’t give up, and the car continues on the line I intend for it to carve out.

I even intentionally over-brake for a corner, and mash the throttle to accellerate through the corner completely. Naturally, because this kind of driver input transitions weight onto the back tires swiftly, it reduces traction on the front end–I do this on purpose to see how the car works during an on-power understeer situation. Despite this, the car does not push…and coupled with the active diff, the car can even be throttle steered early in the corner. It’s so outlandish for me that I’m laughing in the car as i’m doing this.

I can go down an off-camber sweeper, littered with expansion joints some 40kph faster than I could before–with reserve. The car simply has more to give. It is both VERY stable and neutral with the whole setup. Stability both on and off throttle is retained. Actually, the car is much more stable (and actually slightly less pointy than when i just had the anti-sway bars at stock height) since I’ve dropped the ride height.

I have not driven nor setup a car that has driven like this before. The car is VERY capable with some nice tires and a proper alignment + increased roll stiffness. I implore anyone interested in road course duty to give those things a shot. The two things that made the biggest difference were the anti-sway bars and the additional camber. It’s just nuts.

Hope the pic below isn’t redonk size :smiley:

I bought a tire temp gun and will measure tire temps at my very next track day and see if -3 is sufficient. I am guessing that on stock bushings, it actually may not be. Good news is that the SPC arms still have room if I need more. Very worth it.
