Super Street? You get your info from Super Street? Oh yeah ok. So you believe everything you see on tv? I wouldn't trust much info from Super Street even if you paid me.

Now if you said Grassroots Motorsports, Sport Car magazine or Racer mazgine that would be a different story.

Simple physics and actually racing will tell you that some negative camber will help make a car corner better. Negative camber is not great for straight line acceleration, but we're not talking about that.

I'm no a race car driver? Well no I'm not but I have been autocrossing for long enough to know that negative camber is good for cornering.

And banked corners are for NASCAR cars. That is not racing in my opinion. Real race tracks have lefts and rights, elevation changes, and braking zones.

But yes in the long run if you want to save some money get a camber kit - at least you got that part right. In my opinion since I've been dealing with suspenion for the past 8 years is that you wil not need a camber kit up to a 2" drop as long as you get the correct alignment and rotate your tires as recommended. AND FLIP YOUR TIRES ON THE RIM EVERY 12,000 miles or so.
