Can you quantify small and large a bit?

I'd want maybe -1.20 through -1.50 degrees at RS ride height. Doesn't seem too drastic, so maybe that's considered a "small" camber setting.

 

I think that the small hole is in your range; above 1.50 deg (-1.50° of course) you must use the slotted hole

 

this is a interesting read for me as well I have just returned from my alignment shop and found out that I have a rear spring plate issue and I can't get my camber setting to match with my toe.
i'm thinking want a negative camber of 2

so does that mean i will have to use the oval (larger whole)?

 

yes

 

thanks!

 

YES if you have ERP plates
NO if you have OEM plates

 

thanks! again I think i will go with the ERP plates

 

Excuse me Geert, but I think it is pretty obvious that this thread is about ERP plates

 

That's not always the case, as you tend to start reading from the last post. We both made sure what this thread is about.

 

So I had the car aligned this morning and could not get more than -1.3 out of the rear. The tech worked at it, but that was all it gave. He said there was still range in the slot but he couldn't get the plate/trailing arm to pivot further. The eccentric would bottom out and start moving in the opposite direction.

This is w/ the plates installed w/ the slotted hole down (larger range). I was aiming for -2.0 so I'm a bit disappointed w/ the result. I'll go racing tomorrow do we'll see how it works out at -1.3.

 

Vandit, I had mine alligned 2-3 weeks ago, and the shop had the same problem. They achieved a -1.6 on the rear and maxed out at that point, aslo with the slotted hole at the bottom.

Not sure as too why when other achieved in some case -2.5. I also asumed an easy -2 to the rear !!!

 

Autocross went okay, the car drives better now, but I really need more camber in rear. -1.3 is not cutting it. The poor shoulders on my rears are gone.

I'm due for new tires, but if I can't get more rear camber, I'm going to kill the shoulders on those fast too.

I guess I'm going to send Tarett Engineering an email and see if they have expertise w/ these spring plates.

 

Anyone else w/ experience with these? I know Marc Shaw is running them. There's gotta be more people out there with these pieces installed.

I've sent emails to some folks and started discussions in other places trying to figure out what's going on.

 

And the plot thickens...


After a couple of emails w/ Ira Ramin, owner of Tarett Engineering, believes the info that was passed around long ago by Smart Racing is not correct and the long hole needs to be upward, not downward, in order to achieve a larger camber range.

Steve tells me getting the camber where I want it requires the trailing arm and spring plate being "massaged."

I just installed mine but the car is still in the garage waiting for an alignement next week. Does this mean I have to turn the springplates 180 degrees and put the slotted hole at the top?!

I had -2,3 without any problems with my OEM spring plates and RSR top mounts.
