Camber Adjustment

[Myshelby3425]

I lowered my 2018 GT on BMR Minimal drop springs and FP track shocks. The car has a good amount of negative camber in the front and rear after lowering. Is there anyway to correct the camber in front and rear without adding camber kits? If so, how much adjustment can be made?

In the rear, yes. It's adjustable. Front, no. What does your alignment sheet look like? Based on the drops of the springs you bought, you're very likely in a good place for both.

I haven’t gone for an alignment yet. Wanted to have everything I needed before taking it for alignment. Drove it a few miles and the contact area of the tires with the road is on the inside tire edge til about 2 inches away from the outside. I have 19x10 275s up front. I purchased a set of camber bolts just in case I needed some minor adjustment

Agree. Mine was very close before alignment. Did you reindex the bushings?

You don't want the tire flat to the ground static. When the car rolls, it loses camber and you definitely don't want to go into positive camber. Some negative camber is required to ensure proper contact patch in cornering. -1.5 front and -1.3 rear should be your target for a street driven car.

What you posted for me. Brian do these specs work on an 18?

Great, thanks for the input guys. Going to schedule my alignment.

I haven’t reindexed, was going to have alignment shop do it.

Yep. All the same stuff.

My front camber is -1.5 but rear camber is -1.7. I haven't found the motivation to mess with the rear camber setting lol.

That is perfectly fine IMO. Not far off from the FRPP track specs which I’ve used on my car. It works and works well. You’ll be just fine.
