Post For you suspension gurus out there, ? about adding neg. camber...

I recently had my '02 C4S lowered with the ROW suspension (Thanks Gert!) and though it did address some of the understeer issues I'm now thinking about dialing out even more by adding some negative camber up front. I understand with the ROW suspension I can get up to -1 degree up front, are there any streetability issues I should be aware of other than tire wear on the inside edges? Does this much negative camber affect steering feel at all, any loss of on center feel, more wandering, hyper-sensitive response etc? If so, would I even notice a handling difference with less, say 1/2 deg. neg.? I ask b/c the car is used as a daily driver with fairly aggressive street use and 3-4 DE's a year, I dont want to change the overall steering feel of the car (love it!).

Thanks in advance

You might want to go with the GT3 M002/003 (ClubSport) alignment (see below):

Loren's recommendation is probably a good one. I have -2 degrees front and rear and the car handles fine on the street so thats not an issue but it's brutal on tires.

I have negative 1 degree in front and negative 2 degrees in rear, 18X8.5 front and 18X10 rear with 225's and 285's, STOCK suspension 1999 C2 coupe. Handels great and I have aprox. 5000 miles with this setup and tire wear is not that bad, Im used to getting 10K to 15K miles out of a set of tires....

Good Luck...
