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.

I was thinking 'well wouldnt you lose straight line cobtact as cobnsiquence?'
But then, its not really that imperrative going straight is it.
Im putting that one in my learning diary.

Negative camber is good for drifting!!

Camber and Caster angles makes BIG difference to handling!!
Got wiring done today, CD player, Autometer and oil pressure, water temp..Looks lush!!
front suspension and brakes are on and "connected", waiting for manifolds to arrrive (Swede!!)
Should have it running with twin 45's and 2,5" side exit by next weekend!!!
Can't wait!!
