I've read the rear number should be double the front or you're looking at "rear end stepping out" troubles.
I'm at .094 front / .188 Rear on my street car with -1* camber which is REALLY saving the insides of my rear 305's and still provides for plenty of spirited driving handling. Camber goes more negative under acceleration (weight transfer) so trying to keep more rubber on the road in straight line situations. Watching the technician pull down on the rear end while on the rack even changes it significantly! Front suspension is OE, ride height OE.
I've also seen .125/.250 mentioned for toe. |
You never want negative toe in the rear. That will give you snap-oversteer. Only full blown race car with a experienced driver will benefit from it. Keeping the toe front and rear just positive will make the car react quicker. To some, it may feel nervous. Camber on the rear. I don't like to go over -1.8. Some will set it at -2.0 or more. That is more for using full slicks. The camber curve on the rear suspension is quite steep. The more you compress it. The more negative camber you will get. As you have seen. My tire set up is 285/35-19 front and 345/30-19 rear. The outside edge of my rear tires barely make contact with the ground at -1.8 camber. I'm at -1.7 now. Soon as the fronts wear out. I'm putting 295/35-19 on. Really want to try 325's in the front.
