edit: not you, the OP

The camber I can see which is easily fixed. But how do you know it handles worse now? Last time, I was down where he leaves the roads were pretty good.


Depending on spring rates, most miatas need to run positive camber in the rear to put down the most tire...I run 1* POSITIVE and my tires still wear more on the inside because the car squats when youre accelerating nad puts down all the rubber (in my case not enough)....so with your estimated 4-5* negative camber, how much rubber are you putting down? That's why it's useless.

Camber isn't always so easily fixed...if he even gets his camber to 0*, he will probbably be rubbing over bumps (and dont tell me theres no bumps where he lives), but regardless, being that low you can't put down the right alignment and you are sacraficing grip, making the car handle worse. He can get smaller wheels and tires, at which point the car will drop even lower and most likely be totally undrivable on the roads.

OMFG.

It would be one thing if he was talking about just drag racing...but he actually mentions handling, unbelievable.

I run -2.x to -2 front to back, no wonder I'm slow.

yeah, look at the rear tire lift off the ground completely....with my torsen, that's like 90% less traction!
