Camber NB

Postby wiztek » Wed May 30, 2012 11:26 am

Does the NB8A have stock adjustable camber arms? I believe it does. Just wanting to confirm.
How much camber is adjustable front and back? Is this a straight forward job that any suspension/tire shop can do?
Can anyone comment on good camber set ups for the occasional track day/weekend warrior?

yes you can adjust the camber, anyone qualified to do a wheel alignment will be able to adjust it.

as to how much that will depend on a few things.

if you have height adjustable suspension you will be able to get more camber the lower you go (i believe).

if you have stock height suspension i have no idea on the max.

i am pretty sure camber is effected by caster and toe as well, though i am sure someone will chime in soon with a definitive answer.

there are a lot of posts on this subject and it can be a little confusing. A number of places can do a good job ie 4 wheel alignment but perhaps if you mention where you are someone might have a few suggestions. Alternatively just ask around and speak to a few providers- ask them if they have done MX5s etc.
