[Fot] Amount of front and rear negative camber?

[Bill Babcock]

Depends on your tires and the amount of camber gain you have. If you want to
do it via measurement, you need to determine the camber gain and the typical
deflection of the suspension. Not easy to do. Otherwise, get a tire
temperature pyrometer and a skid pad (A big parking lot with no neighbors) and
go round in circles until the tires heat up to more than 110. Measure the
temperature at outside, middle and inside of each tire. Make sure you do
circles in both directions. If the middle is hotter than the inside and
outside, your tire pressure is too high. Decrease tire pressure until the
middle is the same as one side. then read everything again. If the inside is
more than a few degrees hotter than the outside then you are too negative. Or
vice versa. Lather rinse repeat. Then use a camber guage to measure what you
have, and there's the right answer.

Here's the wrong one, but it's easier: Radials: 3 degrees negative, Bias Ply 0
degrees.

On a '74 TR6 being used for autocross (no street use at all), what is a
suggested initial set up for the amount of negative camber front and rear.
Thanks, Jim
