not really understanding the whole crazy camber scene like.
Is it set solid at that angle, or is there play?
does it keep rubber planted when the body rolls or something?!

Sorry for being tarded, but if you dont ask, you dont learn eh?

It's set like that, but adjustable. A few degrees negative camber gives a better contact patch during cornering. All 300s have -2deg at the rear, but none at the front.
