Drop amount/camber change relation

[Omega]

Does anyone have the camber change per inch drop data? Even if you list how much you dropped and then how much camber you added front/rear would be great.

jtcinder says there are suspension maps for our cars which would give you precisely the information you are looking for. After some searching I didn't come up with anything.

That said, I can tell you from personal experience that dropping a 2g about 1.5 inches will affect your front camber about -1° and rear about -2°. This makes your front around -2° and your rear about -3.5°. You can live with a couple of degrees negative in the front but the back requires corrective measures.

Thanks IGS, but is that for the front or the rear?

seems like it would be for the front .. I think the rear is affected more.

dont know bout u gus but to me that chart is saying u will get positive camber????

Is that chart SPECIFICALLY for a specific DSM car? All cars have different suspension linkages, and when a the suspension is compressed, not all cars will have identical negative camber increase. What if the car has shorter travel, or uses upper and lower control arms which gives negative camber at different rates?
I see a problem in a "ONE SIZE FITS ALL" camber and lowering chart for all cars. I think the chart is only good, if it applies SPECIFICALLY for that car.
