More proof that VW owners know nothing about cars.


I mean, as if the fact that they owned VW's wasn't proof enough.

 

so camber helps handling? cause this in new to me


I always thought the more tire contact the better the handling.

 

I'm going to clue you in on something really quick. Stock for stock, pre MKV VWs are some of the worst handling cars on the road. The rear suspension is a straight axle that doesn't allow the camber change properly designed cars do. So when you lean into a corner, instead of the wheels camber keeping the rubber flat on the road, it unloads the inside of the tire and loads only the outside. Effectively, this means you have less than half your available contact patch doing anything for you.
While we're talking about body roll.... a bone stock MKIV VW's roll center is below ground level. Lowering the car lowers it exponentially more. If you're unfamiliar with the term roll center, do some research. Basically, the lower your roll center, the worse it is for your car's handling.
Lastly, getting back to the solid axle thing.... When a live axle car hits a bump or dip with the right rear wheel, it upsets the left rear because they're solidly connected.

So uhm..... I hate to break it to you, but you are completely 100% wrong on all accounts. VWs handle like absolute garbage.

I have a question to you "VW poke" people. Without the ability for the wheels to camber in when the suspension compresses, won't any of that poke you have go right into the fenders when the suspension is compressed?

 

In moderation, yes. The wheels are cambered relative to the chassis of the car. As the chassis tilts into a corner, that camber is now flat relative to the road.

 

Seriously???






I think you need to stick with going in a straight line, no need to make your brain hurt with all the silly turning stuff.

 

Well, they aren't 15's.

 

LOL @ flame fest.

 

Even MKIs and MKIIs?

 

Infineon's optimum setup is both front negative camber right rear positive camber and left rear negative camber. (Courtesy of Raceday built by home depot)

So in actuality camber adjustments, whether it be positive or negative does in fact help handling

 

sucks that they are on FWD gayness VWs
