camber plates? - Page 2

If you didn't get MRC, then DSSV would be your high-end strut/shock replacement option. If the Z/28 comes out, there will be DSSV upgrade packages for the existing Camaro SS. Unlikely that you will be able to change a MRC car to DSSV.

Detroit Speed is working on this - but it's not available yet.

So I guess this car is still new and the aftermarket crowd is still catching up. I'll post updates as we progress.

Yes, it took about a year after the Mustang S550 was made available for the aftermarket to start really rolling out parts.

Got the car back today.

We were able to get 2.5 degrees negative camber front and 1.4 degrees rear. This is a good bit more than chevy recomends - but really close to what my builder does with his other cars.

little negative tow in front. little positive toe in rear.

shake down run at thunderhill next week.

Before you buy camber plates, you need to figure out if you need them. Tire wear is one way to measure, but is probably the worst indicator. The best is a tire pyrometer. Like this:

Basically, go out on track and drive normally. Do not do a cool-down lap. Come straight to the pits and start taking temps - do inside, middle, outside. Get a friend to write them down so that you can take temps faster.

Not only will doing this tell you if you alignment is right, but also if you pressure is right. Ideally, you want the inside to be even across the tire. But, variations of 5-10* is probably what you will see in the real world.

Temps - Inside - Middle - Outside
Ideal - 130* - 130* - 130*
Real World - 125* - 130* - 135*

If you see your outside between 10-20* more than inside, then you need to see about a little more camber. More than 20* means you need to get a LOT more camber (well, "more" negative camber).

If you see your middle temperature is not inbetween the inside and outside, it means your pressures are wrong. If the middle is higher than either, you have too much pressure. If it's lower, you need more air.

This is a good article to start with. And, use the tire manufacturer's specs for tire temps - not the car. http://www.turnology.com/tech-storie...for-the-track/

Would you mind sharing the numbers? caster, toe and camber for up front
This was all done with the OEM suspension, correct? Any sort of camber bolt?

Thanks in advance

responded to your PM.

I got 2.5 neg camber front. 1.4 rear.

.5 degree neg tow front - .5 positive rear.

Tires are wearing fine and the improvement in handling was yuuuuge.

Did Moreno ever come out with 6th Gen plates? I only see up to 2015 on website

I believe someone contacted them and they said they were not going to be offering them for 6 gen after all
