Candy White Golf GTI Ed. 30 - 8th track day at Estoril

It really depends on the tyre compound. For street tyres a 2 degrees negative camber is ok, but semislicks require more and for slicks I think 3 degrees is the right setup.

I promise it won't affect the tire wear :innocent: - as I've been running them for years and I don't see anything wrong with the tires. Oh... for the track more than 3 degrees would be ideal but you can't get that with OEM suspension parts.

From what I read about it that would require to have the steering arms ends modded to be able to fit the TT steering arm ball joints. I prefer to keep those stock for the moment. :innocent:
Thank you for your suggestion and your personal experience. I'll take that into account. :drinking:

The camber plates are so much more than just camber though. Spherical bearings supporting the damper rods makes a huge difference to damper response and cornering control, especially if there are bumps mid corner.
I have a set of them waiting go on, but they are 15mm shallower than the OEM top mounts, so I need an 200mm long front spring to maintain the same ride height. I don't want to use a helper spring setup, I hate them!!
I also raised my ride height to approx 10mm lower than stock. I wasn't getting arch rubbing, but I just like to keep the stock roll center and suspension travel, ground clearance etc :happy2: It feels a lot better raised up. More responsive to turn in and less 'jiggly' over bumps.
I like the rear drop links :happy2: Sealed ball joints instead of Spherical bearings. You don't want spherical bearings on exposed suspension parts, they just don't last!

I thought about those before but I'm afraid of losing my current ride comfort and NVH level. I think we share a similar taste in ride comfort, so I'll wait for your feedback when you get the top mounts fitted. If you approve them, I'll go with the same setup. :wink:
I just want to get the ride of my car setup a bit better than stock and able to go to a track without having any issue. I'm also worried about high speed stability when increasing the negative camber too much. I have no experience with driving something with -2º or -2.5º of front camber. :thinking:

Hmm, that's interesting info. :happy2:

I'm so out of those specs still. :ashamed: :laugh:
Thanks for the shared knowledge buddy! :drinking:
