Default advice please on front camber

Hi every one.

I have a 06-07 sti and i am trying to get a nice geo set up. The problem is i can only get -0.89 degrees out of the drivers side front, on the front passenger side i can get -1.17 degrees.

The car has Tien S Teck springs, camber bolts on max negative and a far bit of heevhoo on the hubs pushing the back as far as they go then retightened.

Ideally i believe -1.5 degrees is the target with 0.06 toe.

Can any of you please give me some advice how to get this.

thanks

Two more camber bolts to push the hub further still !

I.E. one pair in the top, and another pair in the bottom.

Not sure it will work, but £25 a pair @ Camskill !

P.S. I'm at 1.75 degrees, but cheated with Teins....

I'm fairly confident you can fit camber bolts top and bottom, the Camskill ones come with data and imply it's possible.

Yes you can fit camber bolts top and bottom, or alternatively fit adjustable top mounts. A lot more pricey but can dial in some static castor too

As with Dunx, I'm setting the front to 1.75 degrees when it gets set up on Tuesday. The lowering springs do help to add some additional camber anyway.
