I had the shop dial in -1.9 front, -2.2 rear camber. 6.0 castor with .20 total toe. My feeling is that I could/should have dialed in more camber up front. Anyone agree/disagree?

I'm wondering how you were able to get to -1.9 front? I thought, maybe incorrectly, that -1.5 was close to max with the Dinan plates. I remember one post from someone who said he got a little more with Dinan plates,
maybe, -1.7.

Redshift posted that he dials in -2.2 front for track days with his GC adjustable plates. http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=42908&page=1&highlight=definitive

FWIW, Dinan Stage 3 specs are -1.5 front, -2.2 rear camber. 6.5 castor and .20 total toe.

The stage 3 suspension came with camber plates that allowed more front negative camber, and I am under the impression that I could dial in a fair amount more...someone correct me if I am wrong! I know Redshift personally, and was lucky to get a ride-along with his better half while he was out flogging his new toy. BTW, I though the ground control setup he had was comparable to the Dinan setup in ride stiffness, compliance, with a little more rebound. He too recommended dropping the rear camber and putting whatever the plates would afford me in the front. I think he is right.

I'm having a track inspection done next week, and while I'm there I'll ask my guy to look at the Dinan plates and springs and see what he thinks is possible. Threads here have suggested that - 1.5 is close to max given the limited amount of space in the towers with OEM springs. On the other hand, the vast majority of Stage 3s were done by dealers, and they may not have been inclined to deviate from the -1.5 number spec'd by Dinan. My front tire wear looks pretty even, so I'm thinking that adding a little more negative camber, if possible, still would be fine on the street.

Who told you it should be done with a FULL tank and no occupants?

I think Jerry is reading the same Dinan spec sheet as me, which says exactly that. I've also wondered why it's different. I also think the clutch is getting a decent workout at the track, especially if you have DSC off and are hammering the gas at each apex.

DSC is an absolute burden to anyone on a track.

Still trying to figure out why so many read DSC "on" when I said "off." but thanks for stating the obvious ouich

I did not read your post wrong at all. My response did not have anything to do with your post. Don't be so paranoid :1:

I was just taking part in the thread. lovelove

I didn't mean to single out your post, my bad. :cheers:
