Camber Settings (How Extreme)

So before you give me real world car answers I do understand what camber is, how it effects handeling and have worked on real race cars along with being a tuner for the better part of 15 years and 8 project cars.

I am just curious how much people have played with it on GT5 and what settings you all use. I use to not bother with it (0.5 to 1.5) cause I was winning races anyhow, but with the "Truck" seasonal event at the ring I wanted to see how far I could push my X-Runner. I ran a 5.2 front and a 4.5 rear and with other tweeks to suspension & roll bars put down a time of 6:53.?? on the challange (cant tell you how many times I rolled the B!t(h going around a corner I was pushing so hard).

It got me thinking how much impact does everyone feel this makes and what extremes do you all use?
 
I used 2.5/4.0 on a C5 Corvette just so the rear wheels wouldnt poke out too much and it drove fine. It even has some sweet stance now. :lol: I generally dont go beyond 3 on most cars though. Never rolled a car from having too much camber yet, although I havent played with the extremes that much.
 
Till then neither have I. The Truck is slammed at -35 and running firm spring rates and roll bars, dampers adjusted accordingly.... For a Truck it handles really well but if I push too hard through a longer corner the inside wheels actually come up off the ground before the truck will drift and if I dont let off a little it will roll :scared:

If you drop the roll bars you get to much body roll and it tips over much easier. Also by having the rear slightly higher it shifts more weight to the inside front tire. Dont get me wrong though you can still roll the truck middle of a long turn it you push it too hard.
 
Your setup felt good. 6:53 is impressive. I ran 7:10, I could probably get that closer to 7 flat but doubt I could break 7. Appreciate you sharing. Thanks.

Why do you have 4.0 rear camber on the Vette? Im just asking so I can understand it better.

I usually put more camber on the front than rear but recently put more camber on my McLaren '94 and I got a faster lap time on Tsukuba

Purely for looks. If I kept it at 2.0 like it should be, the rear wheels would be poking further out than the fenders. :lol: So I increased the rear camber so the top of the wheels are flush with the fenders, giving it a stanced look. :lol: It doesn't kill the handling so I'm happy to keep it at 4.0. 👍
