How do I add negative camber?
#11
Okay lets say for example I want to put my wheels on before I take it to the shop, the suspension is lowered and I do not want to go lower, how do I adjust the camber to get the wheels to fit before I take it to alignment shop. Can someone answer my question rather than tell me to take it to a shop?

Doesn't toe also affect camber? So just merely ride height alone isn't enough to determine adjustable camber range I'd imagine.

It's both affected due to the suspension geometry of the car, depending on suspension type, toe, caster, AND camber might be adjusted with any single adjustable, or some cars will be ONLY camber or ONLY toe adjusted independently.
If you can't make it to alignment place, just bring your wheels and have them put it on there.

In my opinion, -3 is too much because it'll kill your tires
I've ran -3+ camber on many different tires, and they have all had perfect wear. The key is toe. If your toe is jacked up, you can get some serious wear on the inner/outer shoulders.

Yes, toe does affect camber. I believe I was using 1/4" total toe in when I took those measurements. The camber range will be similar for someone using reasonable toe values. Less toe in = more negative camber. More toe in = less negative camber.

it would've been more clear if you specified that on a stock s2000, toe changes have an affect on camber, and vice versa
