so negative camber is good, where as positive is bad? I would imagine...negative camber puts more tire on the road when in harsh turns. right?

I'm so confused...but learn this I must!

Actually some negative camber does help in the turns and is widely known for that. While key word is some, I doubt it's to the extent some of us run our tires at.

Seph: that guy's rear looks at a -5 or something around that. I think like lowering the car, there is a limit that makes the look able to pull off out well....for camber, I think that looks retarded at that much. It's pretty much subjective.

The - 5 is a guess in reference to how many degrees of negative camber someone is running. Camber is adjusted in increments of degrees.

I like mine where it's at, -2.5 and I'm not changing it since I think it pulled off the look perfect with the top flush with the fender at the rear. I think I'll get the fronts from -1.5 to -2.5 in the future next year to align them up better.

ohhhh okay

Sorry rev but -5 is a little too intense for me, I actually really like Vlaze's set up of -2.5

I agree though, it would be more cohesive for both the Front and Back to be -2.5 all around

*scribbles more on notepad* Vlaze has a SS with a CT plate.... I'm finding out more and more about you Vlaze...tsunami kit (which I don't know what you're talking about it looks fantastic)

I'll meet you one of these days!

SHHH! it's making me feel special and smart-like that I figured that out on my own! lol...I do recall a mention of CT here and there....but i refuse to acknowledge said mentionings for the sake of my intellectually pompous moment!
