Camber Adjustments
Discussion
I finally have my car in the US... WOW!!!
It has been in process since September.
I took the car to a track and noticed a large amount of tire wear on the outside and very little on the inside.
Does anyone know if there are any camber adjustment kits for the 3R?
I don't think it currently has one.

gotapex,
Part of the delay was self induced. I had several changes made to make it better for the track.
Although, most of the time was waiting for an engine which is no longer a problem for new buyers in the US.
Has anyone in the UK, who have run track days, seen more wear on the outside of the tire than inside?

Heavy outside tire wear when the camber is set properly means that something else is awray. Additional static camber is a stopgap best reserved for McPhearson strut cars that are slalom racing.
I'd possibly look at softer springrates and stiffer anti-roll bars, or try to change the roll center so the car doesn't roll on top of the edge of the wheels, though that would induce less warning at the limit.
Or, is the car bottoming out during hard corners? Is it against the snubbers? That would cause large sudden large levering roll forces. If a heavier anti-roll bar isn't solving it, you may need to go to stiffer springs.
Sounds like opposites, but you need to know how the suspension is behaving before tampering with it. Too stiff? Too loose? Too much roll?
It's a shame that a car intended for tracking isn't adjustable. Is the M400 better in this aspect?

Changing the shocks won't give you adjustable geo. We have the same issues here. Apparently some have machined the mounts to change the geo, but v expensive if you cock it up!
The standard noble suspension is a tad soft for track work anyway (you can hit the end stops). M400 is much better but non-ajustable, the other option over here are nitron 2-ways, but don't think they are available in the states.
Ohlins are obviously good dampers but you'll have to go through all the setup hassle yourself.
I'm probably going to get nitrons, but I'm unlikely to worry about the geo in light of it being too much effort.
