![]() ![]() Positve camber is only used for quick cornering.and would be dangerous on a road car as it would make the change of direction far to un-predictable. Now with a negative camber the outer wall will be rolled into the turn, or in other words rolling the tyre flat to the tarmac surface.Ī good example is look at the front wheels of a F1 car when static, look at any track car, Negative camber actually benifits high speed cornering, unfortunatly the trade of on a road car is higher tyre wear on the inside of the tyre. Imagine a set of wheels with neutral camber, as you corner at speed, the tyre rolls on the rim, forcing the outer tyre wall to roll under, and the iner tyre wall to lift. To end my little post on traction.if u want better traction think about getting Z-rated or R compound tyres and a LSD system (not sure if the is200 in the uk come with them).Ĭamber.especially negative can give more traction, ![]() This is why if u lower the car, you will need to get an alignment about 2weeks after to regain your complete traction. When you lower the car, you make the camber to slant, making it negative (so it sits like this = / \ instead of this=l l ) Therefor your tyres are not touching the ground 100% and you are lossing traction and wearing your tyres even faster. With any car u buy, if the alignment is perfect and tyres have full tread, you are basically getting all the tracking you can get. It will lower your center of gravity which will help you through turns better but the increase in traction is not there. Lowering the car does not increase the traction. I need to convince the wife that lowered suspension is not just because it looks good, but serves a safety purpose too (and justify the £50!). "Lowering the suspension increases 'traction' on the road yes, and reduces the possibility of slipping?" I live in NE England so you're likely to be the best person to ask for local advice.Īlso, nobody has really answered the question.
