Default those that use slicks, do you have...

for those who use slicks, do you have a camber kit? i'm sure it will help out with the traction. so what kind do you guys have? any suggestions for which kit for an EF chassis?

thanks

well. it depends on how low your car is....

You still want some negative camber so that when the car launches, and the front end lifts, the camber will be at zero....

I am sure that there is a mathmatical way to figure out how much negative camber vs. how much lift on launch, but I couldnt guess how to figure it out...

I use limit straps, so my front doesnt lift much, so I have the car set close to 1 degree neg camber.

Haha, limiting straps, we're going back to '98-'99 here!

edit: don't want it to sound like i'm clowning them, they do work!
