Ground Control Camber Plate Settings

look585 · 04-04-2018, 12:49 PM

Hey guys.

I got my plates yesterday. One side is done.
The four small circles on the top. Approximate what kind of camber can I expect? I have camber gauges but thought I'd get a general idea of what to expect as should be pretty uniform with our cars.

Would I expect the toe to change significantly as I do anything to deviate from the factory camber setting.

Thanks again guys.

Anyone?

I believe it's a degree per notch. Don't think it's incrementally adjustable through the range

What is your alignment approach/desired negative camber?

For the street I'd like to run a degree more camber.
After that I'll see where I'm at for the track.

Will it change your toe much?

Thanks.

yes - changing camber will have a noticeable on effect toe.

Factory camber setting is -1.0 degree w/zero direct adjustment. In my case, there was a stack-up tolerance issue that made side-to-side camber adjustment impossible (to both equal overall -2.0 degrees), so opted for Vorschlag plates which allows more incremental tailoring.

I'm sorry, "zero direct adjustment"?

Meaning from the factory (w/out camber plates). With both the camber plates set to -1 degree (assumed to be an additional negative degree over stock), I was getting 2.0 LF and 2.7 RF. The variation being stock suspension (car is brand new and almost no miles and zero damage).

W/the camber plates removed, it aligns w/in factory spec. -1.0 and -1.2

I switched to Vorschlag Camber plates which had more variation in adjustment +/-.1 degrees across the range
