You should roll the front fenders before you install them too so you can have straight wheels…

he doesn’t need straight wheels, 240’s have enough understeer as it is, keeping the wheels cambered in helps alleviate that.

mine werent rubbing.

it was a defect in the tires. Tire rack won’t cover it though cause it was over 3000 miles

I definitely agree…I have incredible sticky tires, heavy wheels and a BONE STOCK 133k miles SOHC KA and I can cut mine out at the drop of a hat…no such thing as understeer…

240’s are well known for there understeer, under hard cornering not when you already are oversteering.

since they were designed in 1989

as you track your car more you will realize this. It may not be as noticeable in auto-x but in drifting you notice it quick. That’s why you see a lot of guys new to the sport that tend to push through a corner when they try and power over.

I had to camber mine in a bit due to the understeer, and I will probably go even more. For reference on said understeer I highly recommend you watch the Drift Bible dvd.

And steve, I would say get a 5 or 10mm spacer so that you can run negative camber without any rubbing

What degree camber would you recommend? I don’t know what it is now, but it looks like a lot.

+1 On the drift bible DVD.

I dunno an exact measurement, I would just gauge it by how the car performs…I know on my setup I will probably be close to maxing it out.

and wallace you have no understeer because your car already is way cambered in lol

My car is not a drift car. It is a road race car. IF it does have understeer after everything I put into it, then thats a helpful thing…

I notice understeer in auto-x more than drifting.

At autoX my car:  
crisp turn in, then right into understeer  
mid corner understeer,  
oversteer on corner exit.

You’ll notice understeer the first time you really push your car. The reason our cars oversteer on-power is the ridiculous amount of anti-squat from the factory.
