Camber plates

as you might have seen in the dedicated camber plates thread, I recently got the first set of Moreno Motorsport V2 camber plates, brought back by Gen5DIY.

I got these fitted earlier in the week, installation was straight forward, and they are easy to adjust with just a floorjack and a 6mm allen key so can easily be done at the track if you desire I've attached a couple of pics below showing how you have to trim the spacer ring to clear the bonnet (hood) stay bracket in case this helps someone.

Then this afternoon I got a full alignment done on a brand new £60,000 Hunter Alignment rig local to me!

I'm also on new tyres now.
Michelin Pilot Sport Cups.
front - 305/30/R19 "N0 Porsche spec"
rear - 325/30/R19 "N2 Porsche spec"

For the alignment I went slightly different to the Chevrolet track settings or the JPSS settings.

I've now got the following geometry:
Front left camber -2.5 degrees
Front right camber -2.5 degrees

Front left caster 6.3 degrees
Front right caster 6.3 degrees

Front left toe 0.017 degrees IN (was shooting for zero)
Front right toe 0.05 degrees IN (was shooting for zero)

Rear left camber -1.25 degrees
Rear right camber -1.05 degrees

Rear left toe 0.167 degrees IN (was shooting for 0.12)
Rear right toe 0.133 degrees IN (was shooting for 0.12)


Observations [1] I could have got more negative camber than this.. Not at the limits of adjustment, but I thought this would be a good starting point.

[2] The stock caster on a Z28 appears to be about 5 degrees. I'm interested to see how turn-in feels with the additional caster I've added, but the zero front toe (which should help with tyre life and maybe making the front a bit less "nervous" on country lanes!)
