i had my suspension set up as my tyres were getting trashed very quickly have they set it up right for the suspension i have kyb with eibachs

Could do with a little toe in on the rear and the castor on front left suggests maybe the bush is shot in your tie rod but not too far off what I'd run otherwise.

thanks john :duffer:

-3deg 20min camber??? way too much neg! will be scrubbing the insides of the front tyres without adjustment!!

It's not that bad, I always run -2.5 and I'm presuming from the side to side differences that his setup is not adjustable.

Most tyre scrubbing comes from badly adjusted toe, moderate static camber is absorbed by the tyre sidewalls and the tread sits flat anyway.

Having said that, adjustable camber arms are a good idea to get everything equal.

well mine used to scrub the tyres quite bad at that amount of neg camber, toe adjusted correctly.

 

wears perfect now & actually feels better with less neg camber!

 

i would reduce it IMO :)

I'd reduce it too but it does mean buying new bits and I honestly don't think with parallel toe it'll wear them. Think in most cases on lowered cars people fit camber kit which then pulls the toe back in and hey presto no more tyre wear.

Have spoken to a few suspension people about it and they all think that small amounts of camber will not wear tyres.

What toe/camber were you running on yours? Found running parallel and -2.5 / 9.5-10 was best. Any toe in at all and it was just way too darty on initial turn it.

I run about 04mins each side, which should give a true parallel when driving.

 

have messed about with mine a bit & am happy with it now & the tyres wear pretty true now also! :)

 

dialling in more caster had a better "feel" than having more neg camber IMO.

 

i must disagree on the camber situation wearing tyres tho - i see it all day every day when cars are set up wrong!

I found more castor gave a bit more feel as you loaded it up, but anything less than about -2.5 camber and it would understeer a little in slow bends.

Guess the tyre wear thing really depends how much you're talking about supposedly anything you would sensibly want to run on a road car will not cause it.

i have looked at my tyres and the front left is scubbing the inside i think the tyre might be scrap :headvswal
