Default Camber Kit adjustment.

I got a set of Omni-Power camber kits for my EM1. Installed, and set camber to what i thought looks pretty close to zero camber (using methods described @ http://www.c-speedracing.com) steering is too sensitive now, and when i drive over small bumps in the road car pulls to the right. Car has slight toe out in the front, I didn't bother messing with Toe, i'll leave that for the alignment guy. However, It seems like the car drives worse then it did when I had negative camber, I'm thinking that I have too much positive camber? what do you think.

Just get an alignment and that should take care of your problem. I think its your toe, thats affecting your car more than the camber, but just let your alignment tech figure it out and correct it.

i think that tow out makes steering sensitive and toe in make your steering the opposite. resistive.

I agree to correct your toe settings. If you insist on doing your alignments yourself (which I may experiment with doing down the road), check out the nifty, decently-priced toe/camber gauges at http://www.longacreracing.com .
