Lowering front susp. and camber
 

Hi all,

When lowering seriously the front of an early 911 (1970) does this modify the camber adjustment of wheels ?

If yes (I suppose yes) do you have an idea of the relation between lowering and camber modification
Something like, by example: 5 cm lowering => 1° more negative camber

Most if not all of the change is in 'toe'.

I suspect that if you are seriously lowered by indexing the T-bars, that you'll lose static camber at the front. More importantly, you'll be way "over the top" with your dynamic camber and be losing camber in bump and gaining it in droop which is pretty much opposite what is desirable.

Now if on the other hand you've lowered the front end by raising the spindle, the change to your chamber (static and dynamic) should be negligible from stock, but there still may be bump steer issues. Here's a bunch of previous threads on the subject.

Thank you john.

The fact is that the car I bought IS very low in front (about 63 cm at the top of front wheel arch (195/65x15 tires) and I can see a significative negative camber.

I wanted to know if I should first make the car up before looking at camber alignment on strut heads...

To see how much the camber changes just put a 2' level on the front tires, start jacking the front end up with a floor jack at the cross member in front of the gas tank and watch the camber change every half inch as you jack it up.

Cheers,

Joe

so simple, so evident ...

simply many thanks !
