I haven't really delved into fine tuning my suspension before and I'm starting to make a few changes to my current setup. I have OEM Tokiko (Shinka) shocks with Tein S-Tech springs, Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 wheels with 165/35/18 tires. I have been doing some aggressive canyon carving recently and decided to add a bit more negative camber. I'm now running -1.5% and it seems reasonable, but I was curious what other people are running with similar setups for both track and street.

 

There is an alignment sticky in the Competition forum; that would be a good place to get ideas.

 

Dude, you've embarassed yourself. You have a zillion posts on this site and you're asking a generic camber question? There is total overkill info on camber. Read, read, read, read.

 

165/38/18? Man you are on some tiny tires

If your only doing aggressive driving on the street, then you dont need anything more than -1.5 degrees, not %, of camber. Currently i'm running -2.4 in the front and -2.2 in the rear. But I AutoX and do Track days frequently.

Check out this thread, it will tell ya all you need to know. https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-racing-25/alignment-settings-street-track-use-43308/

 

I'm not embarassed... I honestly don't know much about alignment settings at all and I did search several times, but I didn't think to check the competition subforum. I never go in there or post in there, so I just assumed camber settings would be in the Brakes & Suspension section. I searched in there and found a bunch of random crap that didn't answer my question... hence the new post.

Thanks kster for the thread link, I'm reading through it now.

 

No amount of camber will help when running 165 width tires

 

165 tire on a 9.5 wide?!

 

Lol, as you can tell I was a little pre-occupied when I posted this... um, I'm actually running 265/35/18... :P and I meant degrees not %.

I spent a good portion of the morning trying to sort out an overboosting problem, followed by some random adjustments to my suspension which was out of alignment so I decided to go for a more aggressive camber angle without really knowing what I was shooting for. Thanks for the suggestion.
