Bob,

I'm running -1.4 (with the usual clutch of additional chassis mods) and it feels absolutely planted at 145mph.

ok not taken mine past 130 for a while but total stability with 1.5 deg neg camber. As you turn into a corner the inboard tire will flex slightly. If my thinking is right thios will push the footprint of the tire to a contact patch that is more in the relms of 0 deg camber. So in overall prospective running 1.5 deg negative camber will result in a better tyre footprint on the inboard wheel going through a corner. If im not too plastered this should make a degree of sence if not I'm just a blithering wreck.

Not a scooby but -2.2 camber rear and -1.3 front my 200 sx feels totally relaxed and planted at 160 mph + (GPS speeds)

Will be bringing the rear camber down to 1.5 rear, but not for stability reasons....
