I'm looking for advice on the best/easiest way to adjust my camber when i go to the track. I started with a compromising -1.5* camber but it's not enough for the track so i want to start adjusting between a track and street setting.

 

I'm not sure what your'e asking but if you want to switch between two settings you will need to take the car to an alignment shop and have them put the car at one setting, then outline the plate and mount by etching the paint and then setting it to the other. Just eyeballing it is not a good idea.

 

Thanks for responding. I have done all that. I'm looking for tips and techniques on adjusting the camber when I get to the track. Do I have to lift/jack up the front or can I adjust them on the ground?

When I installed everything this spring I had it aligned and set the camber at -1.5º but through the summer I decided its not enough for the track so I went back to the shop (tuesday), had it realigned a lil more street friendly and had them mark the front edge of the plate to keep track of caster, and mark 0 to -3º camber. Right now the camber is at -1º for street but I plan to try -3º next time I go to the track. What's the easiest/best way to adjust the CC plates at the track? I have everything set up to do it I'm just looking for some voices of experience from fellow autoXers who have done camber adjustments at the track.

 

Just loosen the 3 nuts, push the plate towards the engine, and tighten the bolts. You might need a friend to help. It's very easy to "eyeball" a camber adjustment.

 

Unless you have an exact spot marked so you can easily return it to the prior setting, eyeballing it is not a good idea. Unless you have known settings marked, Alignment is a either done with time and patience at home with a few measuring tools or by an expensive machine. Eyeballing without measuring it or using known settings is only OK when it's just to get you through the drive to the suspension shop after a disassembly.

 

So, basically I can easily adjust them with the car on the ground, at the track, with only a wrench and there won't be any issues? (As long as I have everything marked, which I do)

 

hmm won't they just fly up because of the pressure from the struts if he doesn't jack up the car?

 

You don't remove the nuts, just loosen them. You'll have to push it really hard. It's easier when you can move it and hold it in place while a friend tightens the nuts.
