    little negative camber?GOOD/BAD?input please

    Overhauling my entire suspension and will need a good alignment afterward. Playing with the idea of some negative camber but appreciate some input on it. Does anyone have it and if so what is your set up like. Obviously tire wear is a consideration but new tires are needed for next season anyways so is it worth playing around with the camber?

    There was some debate on here a while back that S2Central & others contributed to, agreeing that more -ve camber was a good idea but I can't recall how much.
    I've been tempted to pull the bottom ball joints out the their limit in the lower wishbone, reset the tracking and see how I got on but I don't know how -ve this would make the camber.

      -ve camber = good.
      in order to get the correct amount though, you need to do some spirited driving and then check tyre temp across tyre width - you want outer and inner edges at same temp.

        It's a balance between handling and tyre wear
