Ok, I’ll try to explain what I found with the car on the setup system.
I put on 2mm shims on the inside of the front hinge pin mounts. Then I adjusted the toe out to the usual 1°. Then I adjusted the camber settings back to 1,5 according to the new basic carpet setup from X-ray.
So, with steering at neutral I had all the normal angles. And when I compressed the suspension at neutral steering I had a little camber gain as normal.
But when I turned the steering and compressed the suspension I got some very interesting readings from the setup system!
If I turned the steering all the way to the left and compressed the suspension I read a large increase in camber (about 3° reading on the setup system) on the right wheel (outside wheel in a left turn).
On the left wheel I got a reading of about 1° positive camber. So both wheels were actually leaning into the turn.
I experienced much more grip through the whole turn with this adjustment, but since the effect is directly dependant on the amount of steering throw and suspension compression it felt a bit strange.
I have to do a lot more testing and practicing to determine how to make best advantage of this (to me) newfound tuning aid!
I also suspect that 2mm shims may be a little too much. At least before I have learned to control the effect it gives…
I heard that a rather well known X-ray factory driver “always” uses 1,5mm, and I think that would be maximum for a driver with normal skills.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if you would totally overboard with this and used say 5mm shimming.
I guess it is a matter of balance, as it is with every other adjustment we make on our fine racing machines
