Thoughts after HFp suspension and alignment

hoserama · 03-07-2010, 10:16 PM

So I installed a hfp suspension on my 2010 FA5 two weeks ago and got an alignment done this morning. I went to a Tire Kingdom which offered me a one year alignment for twelve months at $79.99. The alignment was performed to the hfp spec and -2.8 degrees of negative camber was removed from the rear wheels; the front wasn't nearly that bad.

After driving it around I feel a difference. When driving down the road it feels like the car isn't pulling as much into the grooves and dips in the road as it once used to. Does this sound accurate of a car with negative camber removed or am I hallucinating?

i believe the stock alignment is set up for cornering. thats why the stock tires are known for wearing on one side.

id like to upgrade to HFP but want to keep stock alignment...

how does it differ than stock besides that, bumps,rebound, turning, etc?

to answer your question, yes, that is accurate. the car will feel more stable with the camber closer to 0.
