It would depend on the track. -2° could be a starting point, is it an oval or a road course? |

It depend what tires you have on your rims, and how stiff your suspension is. Racier r-compund tires need lots of camber, and slicks even more. I´m maxing out the negative camber at around -3 degrees. Did a huge differens in front end grip. On my track tires of course. _________________ 1980 924 Turbo

Its for a circuit:
My suspension is not very stiff, I do have lower front springs and lowered the back a little. Ofcourse I haven fron and rear sway bars.[/img] _________________ 937 trackday car

Tires are a determining factor, as much as anything... usually the tire manufacturer - if it's a race/track tire - will be able to give a recommendation of at least a range.
That said, with a fairly stock suspension, you'll probably want as much camber as you can get. I run about 3 degrees front, and about the same in the rear. _________________ Vaughan Scott

Yes, you can adjust the rear to. But not as easy as the front. Search the forum and i think you will find lots of threads. _________________ 1980 924 Turbo
