I couldnt tell with the way he was abusing TGPR. Could be those 'bent' rims that he bought too

So his issue is that stock camber is out of spec? Anything could cause this....
Fooked lat link, slightly bent strut? Fat people breaking down the spring, causing it to sag? Abused and used rims

Accidents; hit a curb with the bottom of the tire = positive camber
" " get hit by a car bumper on the top of the tire = negative camber

Ask Leo about negative camber from an accident. Only visisble damage was a scuffed wheel on two spokes.

Very strange indeed.... I forgot to measure ride height, I'll have to do that tonight...

I have to rule out impact damage, both sides are showing negative camber in equal amounts, so it's gotta be the springs or somebody installed crash bolts... I think....

Cali, you're right though, somehow he bent one of those SSR's... damn Street Ricers...

I have -.7° in the rear since day one. One dealer wanted me to buy crash bolts for the rear to fix it, I didn't go for that and just left it. No wear problems showing on the factory tires for 8k miles or the new ones for the past 5k. I wish I had that much in the front from the factory.

i have aligned 3 srt4 's and mine and i have seen that the rear camber from the factory is - 1.25 to - 1.45 degrees . But the factory listed specs say other wise? i put mine on the alignment rack with 20 miles on it ,because normaly the factory likes to set the toe in a little to let it drive really straight.
The camber was at -1.25! i left my my friends car like that cause he had 20k on it and no tire wear ? i wonder it the factory listed spec at wrong?


Hum makes me wonder ! Did they make a misktake ?

Who's got the SSR's? And what type? I'm debating the GT1 or GT3. Please hook me some pics if his SSR's are either of those. I've only found 3 rims I like. Those 2 SSR's and the Tenzo R Passion 5, I have never seen ANY of the three on any SRT's. If they are the GT1's please hook me all info. Price, where you bought em, hubcentric size, offset, etc etc. THANK YOU!!!!!

Edit: Apparently flaguy didn't think my response was funny, although I didn't get to see his before it was editted/deleted. In an effort to promote goodness throughout the boards, I'll remove my post voluntarily...

Stock (factory) setup at curb height. (full of all fluids)

Front Toe: 0.10 toe in each side +/- 0.10
Front Caster: 2.6 +/- 1.0
Front Camber: 0.0 +/- 0.20
Max front cross camber: 0.40

Rear toe: 0.15 toe in each side +/- 0.1
Rear Camber: -1.0 (in at top) +/- 0.2

The reason is mainly for tire clearance to the wheel arch flange at full jounce - for when you load up 10 sheets of 1/2" drywall at home depot.

the front camber should have been 0.5° +/- 0.5° with a max cross camber of 0.4°



just my opinion of course

Mine too..... Higher powers said otherwise.

That's why man invented die grinders.

[EDIT] Actually, I wanted -1.0 +/- 0.2 max cross of 0.4
