5Zigen Guy's camber info

Yeah, I was at the Sema internation auto salon, and the 5Zigen guy said that a negative camber angle is not what wears your tires down; it's the caster angel that supposedly does it. Is this true? And if one were to need to implement a far negative camber angle (like 3 degrees) to the front suspension in order to compensate for 19s, how would this affect drivability?

Re: 5Zigen Guy's camber info

you'd wear the inside of the tire only.

Thumbs up

Well, I know that, but how would this affect drivability (in what way). Anybody got the answer? 'Cause I don't.

Re: 5Zigen Guy's camber info

i have a 2.5 inch drop and my negative camber doesn't do anything bad for my daily driving. i just notice the inside tire wear but remotely cuz i have crappy ass crap tires so they are hard.
