    i think more negative rear camber will make it understeer. on normal, front camber should be more negative than the back (example -1.4 front, -1.0 rear or something like taht)

    They probably just don't have a camber kit, or they think that driving like that looks cool (like in all those SD car drawings you see).

    also when wider rims and tires are used the camber helps tuck the wheels under the fender. usually the rear fender is lower in the rear.

    bad camber?

    I saw this on a BMW the other day, and now I see it on this scion (look at the rear wheels:(

    Now I know you're supposed to have a little negative camber to get maximize cornering force, but usually it's 1/2 a degree. This looks to be like a full 5 degrees. Is this correct, or are they overcompensating for trying to take a turn at 50mph?
