Baz, I know that reduced camber is great for drag racing as more tyre on the road etc etc,
but what are the consequences of having excessive rear camber on a lowered, low powered Lseries car being driven on the street through the hills and occasional fang?
Basically what are the handling problems with a seriously lowered car without your kit. (not for drag racing).
Cheers, chris
As you lower a 1600/180B the camber increases which reduces tyre contact.
The rear wheels toe out excessively.
the toe out leads to initial understeer followed by final oversteer.
the alignment off the rear end is just as critical as the front end.
A low powered car will benefit just as much as a high powered car.
Drag of the toed out rear is removed. Thus allowing more speed or better economy.
The handling will be greatly improved & drag reduced allowing the car to maintain momentum through the corners.
this is apart from the tyre wear. $$$
Note that drag racing is not the main purpose of an ARC. Its for street & race useage.
tho it does help a lot with straight line traction.
