), but for some reason, I just can't bring myself to like it when wheels are cambered way out. IMO, you car would have been perfect with a touch of rake and -3* or so.
I can fully understand why it's done, and in some cases, up to 5* can look good. I just have a much different taste in stance than most on here. I love low, I love flush, but cambered out just really isn't for me....
BTW, Petis... I do love the hell out of you car, excpt the camber, of course :P

i've been down with negative camber since the early days of WTCC and BTCC. Those cars sometimes had silly neg. camber dependent on the track setup.

see around 4:43 at the start grid check their "stance" lol

What does it mean when you can see daylight coming from under the tire?

As Mike said, it's a case by case basis and there seems to always be an exception to the rule.. thus creating an argument based on absolutes is kinda silly to me. General guidelines is a good thing though.

btw... he has -6* in the rear. Making broad statements about a certain degree of camber looking "stupid" on any car is dumb. It all depends on the car in question.
I think there's a balance for each car but too much of it isn't a good thing. Obviously it's a preference and style people like but too much doesn't do it for me

Like most said, its a delicate balance for the looks ... when your this low and this is your style, handling should not be a concern.

^ I agree Shane, he does need to pull in the camber up front, but he has natural camber all around at this point.... that's right, no camber kit, just slammed it and filled the gap!

Drive low...park lower, correct way to roll bags

i think for the kind of stuff done here, its personal taste and car specific kind of thing, also depending on wheel offset, ride height, etc. The camber should vary to complete the stance depending on your setup and platform.
While there can be performance benefits, they dont apply in this discussion.
