Turkish91 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yeah I know camber on the front is often used but I was under the impression that anywhere that sets up FWD cars try to eradicate any rear camber at all. For example on an EP3, once lowered they naturally gain a fair bit of negative camber, as do most cars with independent rear suspension... Go for a fast road set-up using adjustable rear arms at places like Area Motorsport and ABP, and they usually try to neutralise the rear camber as close to 0 degrees as possible, then give it a touch of toe (can't remember whether toe in or out). Obviously a Starlet doesn't have independent rear suspension so it could be different, but I'd of thought it would be a similar story? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
