K-MAC front Camber and Caster adjustable Top Mount Group Buy

They go on about how easy they are to adjust etc.

It is obvious that you cant say on a weekend do some adjustments (add camber) and do some mountain runs etc, it would throw everything out and need another wheel allignment ?
So for track work you would need to add max camber and get it alligned, then the day after reduce camber and get another allignment, or is there somehow you could make a mark on the top for settings

I don't reckon I would do that Troy. I'd set it up and leave it. Lots of folk talk about camber wearing out tyres but that's not my experience. On my Mk1 GTI at least, it had all the camber you could get, a fair bit. With the Toe set as factory. I used to do thousands of motorway miles in it, in a year and it never chewed the tyres up ever.

Admittedly, this was on narrower tyres 185s.

It's not like 10 degrees anyway. I reckon my mk2 had about 3-4.

That's what Eddy does but as Gavin said, you're not getting THAT much neg camber.

How much does max camber affect traction?

Suspension Tuning Negative Camber - Sport Compact Car Magazine

I honestly would have thought that having around 1.8 to 2.5 degrees negative, with maybe 6 to 8 degrees of positive caster would be more than plenty. Smudge of toe-out on the front, along with 1 to 1.5 degrees negative on the rear with just a little toe-in to keep it settled.

Sounds fun!

I think I may have a little to much toe at the front. Seems to be a little uneasy getting over 100kph.

Too much which way? Generally you'd have a pinch of toe-in for the street. It helps give some straight-line stability.
