Ehhh I dunno about these yet. The reason you add camber is because at max g in a corner, the camber curve of the suspension can't keep the tire flat to the ground, and the outer edge gets all the work in a car with low camber. If you add 3 degrees of negative, but the tire's contact patch is flat with the car rolling straight, the same thing is going to happen in the corner as before, the tire will roll over to the outer edge at max g.

Looks like a good solution for people wanting the neg camber "look" but not the tire wear problems... I call rice!

Actually, it might be quite good...the problem will be the time to get any tires that will fit on our rears....

But, frankly, the idea is a good one.


If it works...
