hey buddy why don't you modify the tention rods so that u get the 5 degree caster that will help more than camber into turns.

u only need to increase the treaded part by 2 inches.

B110, B210, B310 are Sunny family. For B310, think 150Y.

Stanza is Violet family, a bigger car.

Go to suspension and racing sites and read up on suspension. There is a lot to know: list of camber & caster sites

those ecentric camber bolts pictured are acctually used on the front suspension of the irs beetle. i shouldn't know that should i? .
any way here's pic of some home made top mounts to give extra camber. gave about 1-1 1/2 degree extra negative and are 15mm further in

Hi,

if it was my car I would put zero camber, if for everyday use. For racing I would try what the pros (I'm not!) do and test the car by trying different settings and see what results in the fastest lap time.

as cheater_5 said, S13 camber tops do the job and are cheap. might have to get the hole in the top part of the strut top opened up more so you can get max adjustment as on an s13 they adjust in the opposite direction to a 1200 to get camber


^^ open them up, get more than you need, bam, done

so a quick lesson about caster and camber.

u already know what is the camber. caster is nearly the same thing at 90 degree. the lower pivot will be in front of the upper pivot this will help for more stress on the front wheels while turning.

mostly recomended to keep this between 5 to 7 degrees.

Does anyone have a pic of a slotted strut top?
Can i move the top of the strut towards the back of the car to get caster?
