Just wandering for all the people who have the front whiteline camber kit fitted (or any camber kit for that matter);

what angle did you guys set it at?
Are you happy with it, as in is the cornering performance increase noticable?
And lastlly is there any higher tyre wear rates?

Thanks in advance :D

Have a look on the Whiteline site for the Magna kit PDF.

It has a couple of setting recommendations :-

I have the whiteline spec sheet for the Magna already :D , thanks anyway dude, but I'm more after first hand experience with these kits :P

I'll let you know in a couple of weeks.

Front and rear swaybars, strut brace and camber pins on the way from Anthony right now!!

I expect to fit the strut brace first and work out impressions, then the rear adjustable bar. The finally the front bar and camber pins at the same time in approx 2 weeks.


I did something similar many years ago with a MK1 Cortina when I was an apprentice with Ford in the UK. Then after measuring the wheel alignment we plated the sides of the engine crossmember and drilled a new pair of pivot holes for the control arms to give equal camber on both sides!!.

This had a dramatic effect, especially as the original setting was very +ve.
I suspect that the effect is smaller now as the suspension geometry is a tad better on the Magna!!

I have whiteline camber pins and they're set at 1.5 negative. The rear wheels are set at .5 degrees toe in.

Turn-in is enhanced with the pins installed and there has been zero uneven tyre wear (which surprises me). I had my first set of tyres for 48,000km and this set is wearing well too. To get the full effect, have an anti-lift castor kit and strut brace added as well.

Cheers for the info, I already have a strut brace fitted, and am hoping to put the camber pins in next week, just wasn't sure what to set them too.

I was thinking originally of going for -1.0 in fear of eating the inside edge of the tyres first, but after your experince with this I just might go to -1.5 degrees.

I'm not planning on hittind the track, just wanted somthing a bit better on the street, so most likelly might only add a rear sway bar after this and leave it at that. :D
