Get both. Seat and front camber plates are all that is needed. You wont need much more than stock setting for rear as it is.

As for camber, should I not change both back and front? I know fronts are maxed at -1.4 for me. Unsure of what my rears are. What is the install time like? I just dont want to kill myself moneywise. Seat is 850 but add tax, brackets, install, coding etc. then the camber is 500. Add duty and shipping and install. Youre almost at 2500 for both... Anyways. Wanna maximize track time too. |

Adding more camber in the rear isnt needed. It's the front that will need it. -2* to -3* if can get it. Rears will stay at stock settings. Seat needs the rails (slider if you go all out) and someone to install. The camber plates needs install and is pretty easy to do. Mr Seb can help you out or your local preferred shop. Camber will help with more even wear on the track. So technically, the camber kit has better bang for the buck, saving on tires. Having a square setup also helps in being able to rotate tires from any corner. The seat is a comfort thing. But from your videos ... Looks like that might be the priority. Have you tried a CG Lock (I have one for sale .... ) which I found useful.

As for the CG, idk. I dont feel it will remedy the situation. I am sliding left and right mostly and there is no better way to stop that than lateral bum support with a race seat. Plus im constantly flexing in the opposite direction when turning and also bolstering my leg with my car door...its annoying |

but really camber doesnt make you go faster... it just makes your tire wear more even. considering that you dont track that much, its really no biggie to not have so much camber. whatever accelerated tire wear that you get would be minimal. seat would definitely make a bigger difference.

CG-Lock is better than nothing... I give it a 2/5... But a race seat is 5/5 for stability. I would do seat before camber. But both would be nice.

You'll get more than 2 secs with the camber and seat. If you will track a lot, you'll want the camber to help reduce over cost of eating tires. Else go for the seat. If budget permits, both. Good luck.

you can try this experiment yourself... camber only helps to a certain point. beyond that, it doesnt do anything. i tried it on my car (max camber on stock set up and max camber i could get with KW set up with no camber plates). only thing it does is increase tire life... which is useful but if you dont track that much, its not essential. especially if you drive your car with negative camber on the street, which should help even out any excessive wear on the outer edge.

This setup gives you good side bolstering and allows proper positioning of the OEM belt and supports a race harness. This one is correctly done with a hoop and cross members for multipoint harness. This is a race seat that uses the OEM 3 point. He would sit in his seat and strap the belt over the edges of the race seat into the OEM bet receptacle, never making contact with the hips and our natural fold point. In an accident, because the belts are not correctly located over your hips, you would submarine under the belt and find yourself folded up under the dash. Each to their own I guess. I say do it right the first time, be safe, and have fun. Dont cut corners with safety. (Brought to by the Canadian Auto Insurance Association and your local Emerg/Trauma Centre)
