Positive camber is when the bottoms of the tires are closwer together than the tops. Yes, this is right....for a STOCK front end. If your friend has a stiffer roll bar up there, or wider wheels, wider tires, etc. 0 degrees camber or "vertical" is better for handling. I have
5.5" wide wheels up front wearing 185/65 rubber and a 3/4" roll bar. I have my camber set at 0 and the car turns in sharper and is more responsive than with positive camber.

******** Thanks for the response. I
*do* know what pos. camber is.... Most cars are set at negative camber, 'cause of the way the suspension moves with body roll. As I said, I've never seen pos. camber as a factory setting. But the bug
*is* different with the parallel trailing arms. It's a completely stock setup, but he'll probably go to wider tires soon (I offered to loan him my Porsche wheels w/Dunlops since I can't seem to sell them - even though I've offered them at
*way less* than the cost of the tires alone!). In either event he's much happier with 0 camber even with the stock setup. ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"
