Rear chamber

What would be the best angle to set it at for road use and a bit of track.

Rear Camber?

Depends on your suspension settings. The idea is to have the inside wheel completely upright when hard cornering.

It very much depends on your setup.

Hi

As said it's all dependent on your geometry setup. Ideally you will want something around 0.5 deg neg on the working wheel in roll. However to get this setting will require you to work out the required static settings and whether you have and the amount off camber gain or loss during roll.

If like the MK's and Mac#1 you have very bad camber loss during roll this may require around 2 Deg neg static to have 0.5 Deg in roll. But this gives a very unstable feel to the rear during normal driving so compromises may need to be taken to have a good balance between good cornering and a stable rear setup in normal straight line driving.

cheers Matt

I set my Aeon up with 0.5 degree front and 1 degree rear (both neg of course). This seems to be about right for a road car but if you are doing track days then increase a little to suit the more aggressive driving style.





Cheers,
Raz
