From Vette products are worth about -1.4 deg Max Neg camber in a C4. I just had them installed and my left front went from -.8 Deg to -2.2 deg with 6.6 Deg Castor. My right front had a max of -1.6 deg before the lower offset bushings. The front end is now at -2.2 Deg Camber. My winter projects are now complete:
1) Lower Offset bushings with alignment and corner weighted
2) Heim jointed Toe rod kit
3) Crane 1.6 Gold roller rocker and LT4 Springs
4)Front Wheel bearings
5)rear wing
6)rebuilt calipers
All I need to do now is an oil change and mount my Kuhmo V710 scrubs and I am ready to go!

I assume this is a C4??? Don't see the need for any of this stuff in a C5/c6

Thanks, I edited it. It is a C4 of course.

How much additional camber did you get when you ground the
seats/spacers for the upper control arm shafts?

Are these values at stock ride height, or has the car been lowered?

Did you use the Guldstrand ends for the corner weighting?

Would you be willing to post information/pictures regarding the wing?

1) I never ground the spacers or seats so there is still the possibility of getting additional camber.
2) Stock ride height, I have an air dam with brake ducts and an RD cross brace so I am bottoming out frequently as it is and I drive it on the street occasionally plus I drive it to the track.
3) Yes,I use Guildstrand sway bar end links.
4) I will see about the pictures, my computer skills are getting better all the time.

sounded good.
Do you autocross, road race or both?

What's your toe settings?

Sidney004

It is used for HPDE at Thunderhill, Infinion and Laguna Seca. The front was set a zero toe, the rear at 1/8" toe in.

My camber went from -1.1 to -1.8 when I did this and I still have a couple 1/16" shims on each side. One caveat however....I switched to Global West Del-a-Lum aluminum bushings at the same time and the car sits ~1" lower in the front as a result. Sooooo, I'm sure some of the camber benefit is ride height related but I have no way to quantify it.

My spacers were milled .120"

Bottoming is a signal to increase spring rate.

My '89 shares the same configuration and usage as your '94, but
the '89 FE1 front springs are 93 N/mm compared to the 73.2 N/mm rate
used in '94. I didn't bottom on the street, but the rear used a lot of
travel on dips. On the track, my overall combo was too much for
the 39.9 rear rate. Increasing the rear to 61 N/mm (closest aftermarket
to the 57 N/mm avail at the time.) Compare my 93/61 with the 90/57
of the Z07 for '94.

Here is the Suspension Chart link.

I don't have access to my notes but I believe 96GS#007 is the one
who helped me with the spacer mod (thanks, again!) I had a few pairs
ground. I installed a set last summer but have not had a camber gauge
on the car to see what I gained (there is more work to be done to increase
camber).

Thanks for the tip. I am sure you are right. Regretably, I am all tapped out for mods at this moment. I think the springs will be at the top of my list for 2008. Mine has the FX3, so the front rate is only 60 N/mm.
