Has anyone with 25mm spacers had the camber checked out? Is there too much negative camber, because.

What are the effects of negative camber? Is it dangerous?

Default Just adding spacers won't affect camber...the camber will look more severe because
the wheels are now pushed out farther and are more visible.

If you;ve lowered the car, then that is another story.

It is not dangerous per se, except it will wear tires unevenly

Default Not optimum....>
To have excessive negative camber. Handling and tire wear are affected.....aim for -1.5 to -1.7 as a good setting

Default Re: Speaking of alignment has anyone tried adding some front toe out?
Thinking it would reduce understeer and have better turn in.

Default It will make the car a little twitchy....>>
and directional stability will be compromised a bit...Good for a temporary AutoX situation but not day to day. Do other things...
