Need loads of negative camber... Options

[ricochet1490]

Ok, so We're starting in to building our dirt track car. Any of you who've ever been to a race know the front right always has a load of negative camber in it.

So, I know I have some negative camber adjustment in the strut mount at the hub, But I think I'd like to get a little more than that.

I saw some top mounting plates by cusco and some other manufacturers, but I'm sure how much negative camber would be allowed with those.

I"m looking for about 3-5 degrees negative. Any sugggestions? Not looking to go too high dollar and the likelihood of damage is very high lol

5 degrees seems a bit too much, i don't even know if it will clear your suspension if anything depending on your wheel/tire set up. I'm really confident you won't find anything like camber bolts to camber your car between 3 and 5. maybe at the most 2.75 IDK? Maybe sounds even crazy to me, depending on your wheel tire setup try adjusting your camber plates plus bolts, <<< yea IDK thats just for the fronts, sounds crazy never heard anyone try or do that. but then again, if your car is dropped pretty good it can give you avg 2-4 degrees negative NATURAL camber already plus the camber bolts adjustments, might make you reach your goal.

i was thinking the same. plates and bolts. doubt that will do it though

yeah it's going on the dirt track... look at this for a better idea

The body roll on the right side is why I need the neg camber... so that tire is "flat" through the corner if that makes sense

I have Ingalls (http://www.ingallseng.com/) camber bolts in the upper and lower position... they claim you can get 2 degrees each.... we run 2.5 degrees for raod racing... so you should be able to get at least 3....

Custom Camber arms?

^ This should be a solution, for the rears, if dropped low enough, cambers pretty bad already plus bolts will make the rears no problem to adjust for negative camber. and then for the fronts are just what I posted earlier.
