I wanted alittle more camber up front then what I got, but with the first batch of Richards housings, they were setup more for tire clearance than anything else. This is on a S13 coupe.
The numbers...
Front
caster-- 8.5
toe----- 1/16th total toe-in
camber- -1.1 L, -1.5 R
Rear
toe----- 1/8th total toe-in
camber- -1.5
I'll need to go back later and enlarge the upper-left strut mounts on the flange to allow for at least enough camber to get me to -2 degrees. The drivers side had enough play to get me to -2 degrees, but the left side was an issue.
Luckily the track is mostly left hand turns, so having more camber on the right hand side and less on the left side is acceptable for now. The added caster will help some too. I'll monitor tire temps and go from here.
