Slight negative camber good for Freed?

Recently installed camber bolts for my two front wheels and set to slight negative camber at 1.3 degrees on each side.
My freed now feels much more stable when I take corners.

Does anyone know what is the optimal camber angle for freed and what are the trade-offs besides uneven tyre wear?

wah bro cks, this stuff you mention quite technical!!!

honestly i have no bloody idea! can share the costs or some pics?


PS: welcome to HFSG, hope to see ya in future meetups!

Thanks DADDYCOOL. Just to clarify, I am not into the technical stuff either.

The guy from the wheel alignment workshop I went to recommended the camber bolts installation for S$130 a pair (front wheels only) and helped me to adjust the camber angle aided by some sort of digital readout. I get to keep the original bolts so that I may reclaim the camber bolts in the event that I decide to sell my FREED (highly unlikely now, given current COE prices).

The difference in appearance is actually quite subtle. Now the top part of my front tyres are more flushed with the car body as opposed to slightly jutting out before the adjustment (looking at the sides of the car from the front) Sorry, no pics taken yet...

Forgot to mention that since the adjustment, the steering wheel feels a little stiffer when going at higher speeds. Not too bad though, well worth it for the increased in steadiness.

so bro CKS the cornering should also be better after this camber mod?

which workshop do for you and howcome they suggest to you this mod?

Yup, cornering definitely better after this camber mod.

Apparently many workshops doing wheels alignment will be able to do this within 15 minutes. The one I went to is in AMK autopoint.

According to the guy from the workshop, one of his client actually takes FREED to the track in Msia on a regular basis. This client found that negative camber did wonders for his cornering so he recommended it to me too.

I am just worried about whether excessive negative camber will put undue stress on the suspension system on a long run, so asking if anyone has got longer term experience with this on their beloved FREED

bro CKS, possible to post some pics?

or maybe May MU you can join us, so we can see!!!

Like I said, it's quite subtle in appearance.
