Installed and ready to go. Lowered car by 3/4" with .6 more camber in the front and .2 in the rear. This should make a big difference both in the corners and tire management
Just shy of 4" off the ground..... Now getting it on the trailer might be the trick

Hey Gary,
You have a first class setup! I'm probably doing monoballs this winter too. I have a picture of my car from MAM where you can see the poly bushing flex. My camber is set at -3.2 in the front and -1.7 in the rear. In the picture the camber in a corner looks to be closer to 0 degrees than -3.2 and -1.7 because of compression of the poly bushing. With monoballs, I'd probably be able to back the negative camber off a little (would help with the wear of my street tire setup).

Hope to see you at a few of the Central Region events next year!!

If I had a track only car like yours with monoballs I would run about the same camber you now have. On my dual use car, with monoballs I'm hoping to dial the camber back to 2.2 front and 1.3 or so rear and still get reasonable stick and wear out of my track tires and reasonable wear out of my street set up. I guess we'll see.

I've got almost the same set up. TIKT Monoballs, LG Drop Spindles, custom valved Bilstein dumpers and GT1 aero. Will be testing this car on December 7 at Road Atlanta. I'm setting up my car about 3 inch high in front.

I've seen the Tikt monoballs on their website. Unfortunately, I can't read German. Can you give me some details on their monoball setup. Cost, how do they install (press fit, glue?), and what is your opinion of their product. Thanks!!!

How much does a complete set of Monoballs cost. Do they transfer any extra vibration into the feel of the car.
I can only get 2.2 neg. camber in front with stock setup. If the pressures and temps are not just right, my car pushes badly. When conditions are right it handles ok. I would like to loosen it up a bit.
Thanks
