Camber settings

[zytariuk]

I've already established that I will need 4 camber bolts (since my car is lowered ~1.5")...<p>- What are acceptable alignment specs for a 92' MX-3 GS, so that my tires don't wear out faster than they should. <p>I was just reading a post from another member here on mx-3.com that got his alignment done a couple days ago (without camber bolts) and he had Front left -2.49, Front right -2.23, Left rear -3.02, Right rear -3.19....will just camber bolts fix his situation?<p>[ April 01, 2003: Message edited by: zytariuk ]</p>

The camber bolts I had changed the settings ~1-1.2 degrees on the front.<p>Within "acceptable" ranges is subjective. How long do you want your tires to last? How do you drive? What kind of tires do you have?<p>My street tires have lasted over 20,000 miles, while my race tires barely make it to 80....so go figure. Same alignment settings.

70,000km's (That's what the 'warranty' is on em')<p>How do you drive?
I usually drive about 20km/h over posted speed limit (in-town and highway). Though, sometimes on the highway i'll get up too ~210km/h to get my speed fix...this is only like once a week though.<p>What kind of tires do you have?
