I was wondering on these cars with a mild drop.like an inch and a half,why are we running camber kits? on a conventional suspension,the lower spring will cause negative camber,but these are double wishbone front and rear,the entire point of a double wishbone is that even when the spring and strut are under compression,the camber doesn't change. on a conventional suspension,theres only one ball joint and a pivot at the top of the strut,in other words the strut can move slightly,in that case as the spring is lowered the wheel tilts towards a negative camber,but on a double wishbone there are two ball joints so the wheel just moves upward on two pivots with no change in camber. thats why the camber is fixed on our cars,it's supposed to stay the same under all conditions. that keeps the tire patch in contact with the road all the time and prevents extreme negative camber. like the brochure said,these were the first front wheel drive cars sold in the US with double wishbone on all four corners. this was a suspension only found on the best sports cars in 1986. it was unheard of to put it in a front wheel drive car. lowing the car shouldn't change the camber. the only thing that changes it is part wear.
