1LE alignment suggestions for AutoX and/or road course - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ICTsccaCamaro · 05-13-2014, 10:59 PM

Just trying to get a good feeling for what people are running camber wise and if your car is also a daily driver and what type of events you do with the car (autoX or road course), going to throw our 1LE on the rack for the 1st time tomorrow at work before our first autoX on the 1st.

On our V6 we daily drove with -1.5* camber front and -1.1*camber rear for autoX

White_SS/RS · 05-13-2014, 11:29 PM

I daily drive mine when the weather is decent. I'm running -1.6 front and -.80 rear. I haven't put enough miles on it to see the effects it has on tire wear, so this thread should be good.

If I could get away with more camber without destroying the insides of the tires on the street I would. No autox for me just track.

How did you v6 set up work as far a tire wear on the street?

What's maxed out? -2.0 to -2.2? Can't remember specifically. How many street miles a year are you putting on? Or will you put on since you have a '14

Well we had to sets of wheels for the V6 one for daily and one for autoX, the daily set were starting to wear really bad on the inside, pretty uneven choppy wear at that maybe the P-zeros didn't like camber as much but at autoX it would turn in great loved the grip.

The 1LE I think we are going to just run the Supercar's G2 for daily and for autoX and just plan to replace tires every autoX season

Not sure what your running for toe, but to me that would seem to be the reason for choppy wear when combined with that much camber.

In answer to your question, I set mine at 1.9 degrees negative front, o toe. The rear was set at .8 degrees negative and .20 total degrees rear toe in. Your results may vary.My car maxed out at 2.2 left front and 1.9 right front.

How is your tire wear on the street?

SVThis · 05-14-2014, 06:34 PM

It's not a daily driver so much of when it is driven will either be autocross or track. I'll wear the outside of the tire out long before the inside. Drive-ability on the street is fine.

toehead93 · 05-14-2014, 07:53 PM

I used the aggressive pedders alignment and my outside tires have worn a lot more than the inside with just 2 autocrosses. So I need more camber, I think I am at -1.5, -.8, not sure 100%.

ICTsccaCamaro · 05-14-2014, 09:21 PM

Well I threw it on the rack today and im going to try out -1.5* camber front with total toe .20 front, and -1.0 camber rear with .20 total toe rear

shifterracer · 01-11-2015, 05:40 PM

How are you guys getting negative camber in the rear? Took my 1LE to a shop this weekend and they told me they couldn't adjust the rear.

SVThis · 01-12-2015, 11:49 AM

I'd suggest going to a different shop

GreendaleSRT4 · 01-14-2015, 12:08 PM

Just out of curiosity, what is the stock camber? I don't have a service manual.
