good front camber for FWD autox and drag racing?

[mhuffman]

I have a FWD and ive been "rolling" past the sidewall indicators even when they're pumped to 40psi. So, im going to be adding some negative camber. The car is my daily driver and i use it for drag racing and autocrossing, as well as hauling @$$ on highway on and off ramps and backroads. I'm not all about the straight line as many here are, i like a balanced car.

What's a good amount of neg. front camber for FWD? I realize the tradeoffs. Last FWD i had i was running 1.5* and i was thinking that'd be a good number. Any FWD'ers have suggestions?

try posting this in the "Handling tech" section you will find more people with greater knowledge browsing through that section. Good luck....Im a fwd and would love to have a great all around handling car like your looking for so I would like to know the answer to your questions also.

well i guess what i will do is vary with settings to find the minimum camber to keep from rolling over onto sidewalls. im guessing its the -1.0 to -1.5degree range, hopefully closer to -1.0.

Its hard to have a setup for drag and autox. If I was strictly autox I'd go with -2.0* up front. If I was all drag I'd rock near 0* camber.

For a capable daily driver that I can drag and take some nice turns with I'd stick to -1.5* Traction won't be perfect but its a compromise.
