Front Camber vs. Rear Camber

osbornsm · 02-21-2012, 04:54 PM

Hello all,

Every car i have ever had has understeered like a pig on ice. It is for this reason, that i ask all of you...

Why are there so many rear camber products for the 370 and very few for the front? Additionally, why would one want more rear camber? Doesn't this detract power from the driven wheels?

Adding more front camber always makes sense because of the crap weight distribution of today's vehicles. But more rear camber?

Explain pls

the rear camber is to give more stability coming out of a turn but it really depends on how you dial in the rest of your suspension and wheel offset.

most people lower their cars for looks and not really think why nissan setup the car the way they did. the understeer is there for safety but can be dialed out with just adding spacers up front. swaybar adjustment will also affect it, but for the novice i think better tires, spacers, and throttle input will net more good vs bad sideeffects...

Most people get rear camber kits because they need them after lowering the car.
