Anytime I see a car with any type of irregular camber in the rear, no matter if its extreme or even just a little bit, in my opinion the car looks broken and down right stupid as if the wheels are about to fall off some how. I like seeing rim and tires that are flush with the fender but are perfectly straight...not crooked or leaning some with camber. I know some people have to have irregular camber to avoid rubbing but then if thats the case, buy wheels that fit or dont lower your car to the point where it causes problems with your tires.

^ disagree.



It's more like, Welcome to the 20-teens. It's a fad that will soon be over, I'm sure. I have -2.8 camber, and I'm already over it.



It's the same as those damn body kits, and ricey underbody neons, and the rear window vents from the 90s Mustangs.



Okay, maybe they haven't died out for the Mustang owners, but at least they aren't as common as they once were.

I usually think it was either a misguided herrafrush thing done on purpose, or a poorly engineered lowering by JUST changing springs, causing the bad camber. I look on these people with pity, and try not to drive too close because they might drive as well as they re-engineer suspension . . .

I run -1.5 degrees of camber all around cause it actually helps with traction greatly!!! I do play with my car as i built it to beat it, it is barely noticeable at -1.5 degrees to the naked eye, but it is there!
