Camber question atom cup cars

Post by johndvm » Mon Apr 21, 2014 8:58 pm

Does anyone have an idea of what camber the atom cup cars are running front and rear?  In pictures they appear to have a fair amount of negative camber, at least in front.

They do run some serious negative camber -  I think they have custom longer wishbones to be able to achieve this.

One of the Atom Cup drivers or one of the Atom Cup team may will know the actual figures - I'm not aware of them being specified and published anywhere ..

It's a personal thing but most of the cars will be running around -2.5 on the front & around -3.0 on the rear, some run more, some run less.

You will need a bit of toe out on the front & of course, toe in, on the rear.

It won't hurt to lower your ride heights either but it will put all of the above out, so best to get it done all together somewhere.

Perhaps ask the factory to give your car a "cup" setup?

I would also make sure you are running all the latest uprights/hubs with these settings.

Interesting Paul...more negative on the rear than the fronts.

Fairly common in my very limited experience mate, my RS is 2.5/3.5

I was thinking in the rear would have some dynamic negative camber vs the front.

Common to have more negative where the majority of the weight is.

I run 2.9 front and 3.8 rear.
