track oriented suspension

[Quadcammer]

so to sum up, I was only able to get to -2 degrees even with a lot of slotting in the shock tower.

so..well, thats unfortunate, but so be it. At some point I'll upgrade to some gt3 style LCAs, but I'm gonna run it and see how it feels and how my tires wear.

Are the top mount pins up against the edges of your expanded slots or is the nose of the top mount contacting the body structure? If the nose of the top mount is contacting, you could probably cut or grind off some of that nose and give yourself some more room and squeeze a little more neg camber, maybe another 5mm worth?

You can also throw top camber plates on that add 1 degree. That will get you 3.

That's going to be my next project. I might wait until I have to replace the front struts, but that may take a while I had the same issue, the strut mount body hits the inside of the sheet metal strut housing. I took a look in there and there is not much metal to grind away and it could weaken the mount.

Yeah, I wouldn't mess with the top mount. I'm having Ohlins R+T coilovers installed in my Cayman. I debated about putting camber mounts in - but since it's a street car I went with the stock mounts.

You are right, I thought there was more to grind, my bad. That picture shows it pretty clearly.

I’m running the Megan racing 987 rear toe links on my 986. They work, no idea why they don’t advertise them working on 986’s.

Yup, I got them on as well. Heavy as hell, but they fit and work fine.

rastta, how were you able to get to -3 without lcas?

If you lower the car you will naturally get more camber too.

I realized after I had posted that I had camber plates on the car. I always forget because they are static top plates that are not adjustable. I'm also REALLY low in the front.
