K-Sport Coilovers Installed!! W/pics..

Additional negative camber will increase front end cornering grip, but it will also increase tire wear at the inside of the tread, decrease straight-line grip when braking or accelerating, and decrease straight-line tracking ability. The stock camber spec for a BJ Proteg is 0.5- 1.0 negative. 1.5-2.0 of negative camber will provide good handling without extreme tire wear. Hardcore autocrossers and track racers may require 2.5-4.0 of negative camber for maximum front end grip, but this much camber will generally cause excessive tire wear and front-end wander on the street.

So howbout a little comprimise of 1.5 negative camber front and rear? Should be okay? Thanks again for your responses.

More Pics!!!

GOt some more pictures, better quality, etc. to give everyone a little better idea of the drop possibilities, etc. Some other random shots of the car are thrown in there too...

That's within the camber specs for an MSP anyway... I don't know the number, but there is a TSB for the MSP allignment specs and I think up to -1.58deg is allowed in the front. So your tireware should be ok.

Since you have built in camber plates, I find a lot of autoXer's with these will adjust there alignment to -3 or -4 degrees for the event and then put it back after the event... just a thought...

I'm still trying to decide what suspension setup to use for this coming season at AutoX since last year in DS running only R compounds, I was propositioning MSP's in the next class up who had done JIC's and GC Coil Overs. When a stock MSP is beating well equiped MSP's it doesn't make it easy to decide what to do! (scratch)
