Default Adding more camber (front)

I’m looking at running more camber in the front of my 91`. Now that I have some free time I’m wanting to play around with settings, and get my coilovers working a bit better ect.

I’ve done a quick search and it appears no one makes camber kits for our cars?? I ideally would like to reduce the amount on the rear and add to the front as per original question.

Thanks,

- Josh

Dunno about the 1LS, the 2'nd gen has sufficient adjustment. I've got -1.5, camber, 1/16" toe front and -1 camber, 1/12" toe rear. The tires on the car are wearing nicely in spite of this. The last measurment taken, the inside edge was like .02 different than the outer edge. I like the handling but that is relative to the boat that it is.

Your LS has a fully adjustable front and rear end , you don't need a camber kit , they are adjustable just as they are !!

Interesting. When I got my wheel alignment the shop said they couldn’t do anything about the camber.

Maybe it was just too hard for them?

Presuming it's similar to the 2LS set-up, they have to remove the lower engine cover to access the camber adjustment bolts. Lazy.
