pinske Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 hi all, had my D2s on for about a month now and they have wrecked my tyres. Is there an optimal camber setting on the top mounts? or anyone tell me how to adjust it to stop it eating tyres. the tracking is a little out but shouldnt cause that much wear Sam. Quote
steve-gers Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 If you put the coils on and didnt get the car tracked then even brand new tyres will be dead within a month if used alot. Quote
Amjad Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 The tracking would be more responsible than the camber dude Quote
har-vey Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 ill second that. i run 2.2 degs neg camber and use the car as a daily and the tyres are fine Quote
Liam_D Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I run -1.5 camber, and then toes neutral. Tyre wear seems to be fine. Quote
DavidAshton Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I fitted my coilovers last week and got the tracking done straight away. Tracking was spot on before fitting coilovers, after fitting them it was 7mm out which was a lot according to the tyre place! Quote
loguey Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Toe is gonna be killing your tyres and handling. At least get that seen to and youll see massive improvements Quote
Amjad Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 rear camber makes biggest difference. Are you the Mikey from TGTT? Quote
morgey Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 rear camber makes biggest difference.Im assuming either you are having a giraffe or you've actually modded the rear end to get some camber? Quote
mikey4410 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Very big job but i did it.running about 2.1 degrees on rear.will do a how to guide eventually.left it a while because i have to to know its safe etc before i go telling people how to do it.its i bit like its my responsibility if i have got it wrong u know what i mean.thats what worrys me.saying that i have done 1000 miles on it and all has been so so far so good.had some very spirited drives.

morgey Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Yeah i know what you mean, I've got custom stuff as well What method did you go for. Cut the beam in half plate and add a wedge, bolt back together or a different one? Quote

Good man! I eagerly await your guide, please keep us informed! Quote
Ct9 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Think you will find your wheels trying to go in opposite directions like a "V" Shape this was the case on mine and I just tracked it used my dads tracking gear:) Quote
