like some input from you guys what is the personal preference?

assuming everything else is constant, to have half degree more in the front or rear?

i.e setup A, Front camber 3 degree, Rear 2.5 degree

Setup B, Front 2.5 degree, Rear 3 degree

Also, will running a staggered as opposed to a non staggered setup affects the choice?

opinions please!

Unless you modify your suspension more than just lowering the car, most people end up just running "as much as possible".

s2kpearlwhite

point taken!

how about if im running on KW clubsports, semi slicks tires 255 all round

my camber kit can go to 6 degree, IMHO overkill!

You should do some testing with a pyrometer. If your driving style cannot utilize all the -camber you set, then you are just robbing yourself of contact patch.

But generally, go with more camber at the rear and less at the front in the s2k.

S2k setups are usually more rear camber, but in many cases that's due to more rear camber being available, and also to the early S2k's rear roll stiffness bias. RWD production cars almost always run more rear camber for a safer more understeering handling demeanor, but more front camber is the norm for decent power/weight rwd track cars.

What's best on your particular car depends on the overall setup. Personally, I'd go for more front camber (~3 front, ~2.5 rear) and stiffer front vs. rear roll stiffness to balance.

As for pyrometer testing, be aware that even temps across the tread is not necessarily the ideal. The stopwatch is the ultimate measure of what's really optimal. Faster setups will often run hotter temps at the inside of the tread. This is partially because at higher speed straightaways, you're heating the inside tread more than you'll heat the outside during cornering.

Miatas runs more front camber.

but I agree with zDan, need a pyrometer, every car is different, and driving style is different. ideally you want inside ~5F warmer than middle, which is ~5F warmer than outside.

power is a factor. less rear camber enable you to put more power down. less front camber allows better braking. so everything is a balance.

I run more front camber.

all things being constant, on a non staggered 255 setup AP2, will a bigger front camber than rear cause more oversteer?

Squirtle

There really is no yes or no answer to this question, it all is relative to your driving style/car setup.

BLkAP1

This is more of a question than an answer , but doesn't camber effect mid corner or "steady state" cornering and toe effect entry and exit?

Am I on the right track?
