Camber setting

Post by ticki »

Does anybody know a good camber angle setting for Polo GTi? Obviously im looking for improved steering response and grip.

You can only adjust the camber at the front, and even then this is very very minimal! So you won't notice a difference at all TBH,

Just make sure the car gets set up correctly for the height that your putting it. If lowered then you will notice a camber at the back, but this CAN NOT be changed as it's a solid beam, BEst thing to do would be to throw an ARB on to it to stiffen it up and so it will become tail happy - Thus enabling you to corner better than if it is to understeer!

thanks. Fitting new wishbone bushes i need my camber a tracking redone. When i first had my coilovers on they where set pretty high. I then turned them down 40mm. Which would naturally create a negative camber, and trust me it dones make a difference to the steering. It feels tighter and more positive.
