Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Autocross and Open Track camber settings???

I would guess that you guys would know the most about this....
I will be lowering my 95gl V6 with eibach pro kit and KYB performance Gas Struts. I know I will have to have the alignment done so I was wondering what would be the optimal setting for the contour btw I am running on SVT E0 16" with Dunlop SP8000.
My mechanic is very reliable will set the camber at whatever I give him as specs...if not he will set it at factory.
thanks for any info...

IMO it depends on what you want to do. If your not looking to autox or for 10/10th street performance, I'd take a bit of camber out of the stock setting. My fronts wore heavily on the insides at the front. The right amount of camber can make the car corner a bit harder but if I weren't competing, I'd take some camber out for the sake of tire wear. Keep in mind that this is on an SVT. Don't know for sure but the SVT might get a more radical camber setting from the factory.

You cannot adjust the camber on our cars the only thing you can change is toe. Trust me without getting a set of camber plates and carving around on the top of your strut towers you have no adjustment. I went through trying to align my car when I first got it and all you can do is toe.

Are there eccentric bushings in the struts or are one of the camber kits available aftermarket?
