Hey Everyone,
So I have had my 2023 Model Y for about 1 year now with the following set up:
H&R Lowering Springs
Tein Enduro Pro Shocks
14MM Front Spacer and 17MM Rear Spacer
20 inch Induction Wheels with stock GoodYear Eagle F 1 tires
I never adjusted the camber specs away from stock after H&R Springs were lowered so it was running at about Negative 2.1 degrees in the rear.
The tires were wearing uneven so the inner of rear tires were completely worn after 15k miles.
I decided to switch over to Hankook ION EVO SUV AS and got camber arms and adjusted the rear camber to negative 1 degrees. It’s been 500 miles and my efficiency seems to gotten much worse.
Thoughts?
I was wondering if the negative 2.1 camber was actually helping efficiency? Maybe that’s why Tesla had a negative camber at stock specs? Or is the rear 17 mm spacer now causing inefficiency since there’s less of a camber now so the tire is probably out a little bit more? I know typically on a gas car, 0 camber is suppose to be better for efficiency but I’m not so sure now about on an EV.
