Making the car camber? Lmfao.

And you don't. You lower the car, and enjoy the fact that the increase in negative camber allows better cornering.

Do some research in the suspension forum. This has been covered countless times.

LOL. well, it depends on what wheels you have and all as well. just take your time dropping it a bit at a time to see when it will start rubbing. and i would recommend you rollin g your fenders if you plan to slam your car.

And your car also handles worse than if you kept the stock components and used the stock camber curve to your advantage.
