Does anyone know what the maximum +- range of the front and rear camber adjusters are? What is the maximum camber that I can dial in? Also, for each mark on the adjusters approximately how much camber do you get?

Maybe others have a had a different experience, but you will likely get up to -2.3 to -2.4 range if your car is lower slightly but not slammed.

I was able to get -2.2 and -2.3 on a non lowered car. With this setting the caster was about +4 degrees.

I could only get -2.0 and -1.5 on a lowered car on stock bolts with 6 degrees of caster.

That's in the range. All cars are slighly different and all alignment machines are different. Contact Gary Hoffman at Hardbar if you want specific camber plates with a better range.

I agree, you'll get between 2-3 in the front, and from 1-1.25 in the rear.

You can't go by the marks on the bolts. Since they are concentric, they more or less follow a sin curve. In other words, depending on what part of the circle they are on, they make more or less change.

If the adjuster is now in the center of it's travel, a notch will move it more than if it is near an extreme end of it's travel.

Check to see if you have any washers between the front upper control arms and chassis. If so, and you remove them (easy), you can get some more camber. Depending on your tires, ride height, caster setting, and bushing stiffness you may not need as much camber as you think. More is not always better...

The marks on the cams are almost useless, and misleading if you watch them. There is about 0.2 degrees of hystereis (slop) in the camber adjustment depending on whether you are pulling in the bushing or pushing it out while adjusting. In other words you can rotate the cam a little but make no change in adjustment.

While on the subject of getting max neg camber out front. I was told to only sacrifice a certain amount of caster. What is the minimum amount of caster you would allow for a car that is street/track driven?
