Message	......I am not an experienced road racer like the rest of these guys, but for the average Joe, I can relate that increasing front negative camber makes a huge difference on these cars. If you are wondering whether any of this applies anywhere but the track, think again. I went from -1.5 to -2.5 in the front, the whole time running A032R's, and the difference was phenomenal. I would like to go to -3.0 in the front, but I will have to modify the upper links. I run -3.0 in the back, and likewise, the difference is huge. I wish there were some closer road tracks........ RSR
