Not really, camber is camber and could be negative or positive regardless of the word "more" or "less"

if you ask u shall receive.









control arms need to be custom machined so i can add more NEGATIVE camber. rear tread was sticking out 2.25 inches before on stock control arm. now its 1 inch with the aftermarket. almost there.

That's what my left fender looked like after I rolled/pulled, but that was too much for what I need it. Had to push it back in, but now it looks bad, so need some body work

i will daily it as long as i can source replacement tires. i have another set of 285 sitting at home when these get warm out. hoping to get 5000 before i have to flip haha.. i will drive it as long as things don't start breaking.

Cool, just watch out on rainy days. I know we don't get much rain here in so cal, but I don't know if it's the same futher north. My friend had an S13 with some crazy neg camber and always found it hard to keep the car straight on rainy days.
