Suspension is very difficult to get set up right. You say that you've put it on max negative camber but you don't even know what that means. With suspension, you can't just guess and make it up as you go along.
It needs fine tuning by someone who knows what they're doing especially with so many variables which you now have from your upgrades.
You will also need to find out the stock setup geometry as a starting point before you can begin making adjustments. This sort of setup is only really any good for track cars, it's not necessary for street use.
Sorry, I know what max negative camber means. I just don't know what the max negative camber of this kit is. Like if it's 1 degree, 1 1/2 degrees, 2 degrees, etc. I haven't had a chance to talk to the guy who set it up yet, he wasn't there when I picked up the car.
It was installed and setup by a proffesional at a tyre store. They sell motorsport tyres and parts and run a car in fairly high level motorsport (Konica V8's which are a cheaper version of the V8 Supercars which are Australia's "main" race series). They have facilities to perform a proper wheel alignment.
I know I needed more front negative because I am destroying the outside edge of my left front tyre at the track. I also want to make it turn in just a little bit better. My car is used for racing on a dirt circuit and also for track days on bitumen fairly frequently (last year I probably did a total of 16+ races and track days). I am also fairly sure that this kit won't go any further than 3 degrees (maybe not even that far) so that isn't exactly a race setup anyway. Most race cars have 5+ degrees.
Sorry I didn't explain that at the start
, but thank you for your reply. At least people are looking at my thread and trying to help.
I really just wanted to know if these plates raise the front of the car? I thought maybe some people had experience with these?
