Fixing negative camber
Now race season is done for me, looking at upgrades. I want to fix the negative camber when the wheels come up. I have camber set at 0 at ride height and goes to -2.6 degrees when the wheels come off the ground. Right now, I am running all stock control arms.
I am looking at TRZ upper control arm. Will the aftermarket arms stop the large camber swing? I am waiting to hear back from TRZ if they will do it. Is there anything else I can do? |

Mike: I have a friend that used TRZ control arms and broke one of the Cross shafts. Maybe checkout Global West. They have the TLC race version series.

Switch the stock upper control arms from side to side.
Run upper ball joint extenders. These do NOT add spindle height. You need tall ball joints, .9 on the lowers and .5 on the upper ball joints. Fix a strong cable through the front springs and the frame to hold the front wheels were you want them. Or shim the front shocks to stop were hyou want them to be at. Make sure you run zero camber with just a slight hint of toe in. Along with 8 degrees positive caster on both sides. Don't add more caster on the passenger side for road crown because theres no crown on a drag strip. Camber and toe can take a lot of horsepower oujt of your car.
