Attn Pozzi, Here's my Alston SF Camber Gain Measurements
Back on the old board, waaaay back last Apr, I told David Pozzi I would take my Alston Subframes Camber gain measurements There were severa resons why I did not get to it, bit one big one was that the sheet metal was all on and it was a pain to remove the coil overs/sway bar, etc. I recent removed all the front sheet metal for 2K/blocking, so I figure I better make good on my promise. I don’t know what these mean or if I did it correectly, so while I got it all apart let me know! I can do other measurements too, but will need instructions!
Thsee are in 1/2 inch increments measured from the bottom of my rotor to the floor with a starting position where the lower control arm was level (Suppose I should dial in a tad neg camber at that initnal position huh?). The digital level was placed on the hub and rotors (measured twice, each time they matched).
My original post was missing all the up swing number. Doh! Here are all the number again, this time including the up swing..
Reference point is from ground to bottom of rotor.
- 18 3/8" = 84.7-
- 17 7/8" = 85.6-
- 17 3/8" = 86.5-
- 16 7/8" = 87.3-
- 16 3/8" = 88.1-
- 15 7/8" = 88.6-
- 15 3/8" = 89.3-
- 14 7/8" = 89.7-
- 14 3/8" = 90.0 Lower control arm Level.
- 13 7/8" = 89.4 +
* 13 5/8"s = 89.3+ This i where the lower a-arm pivot is level with b-joint pivot.
- 13 3/8" = 89.1 +
- 12 7/8 = 88.8 +
- 12 3/8 = 88.5 +
- 11 7/8 = 88.3 +
- 11 3/8 = 88.2 +
- 10 7/8 = 88.1 +
- 10 3/8 = 88.1 +
- 9 7/8 = 88.2 +
- Bottomed out after this...perhaps it dropped another 1/4" and read 88.1+.

I have these #'s and pics of me doing this at http://chemagic.com/craigon/Chassis.htm . Again, not sure if I did it 100% correct, so le me know (send David email on this topic too)
