What you can say about this? With little camber the steering is bigger, but 0,1'' isn't ''little''. But in tests - maybe turning is bigger :indiff: ... That's one. The other - toe. i want to know, when is the biggest turning, steering, stability, bla, bla, bla... :) I know that here's is one similar topic, but i want to know real info, tests and what are you thinking. So - write, please! :)

from my own experiment (not posted here) I find that using toe more that 2 will make less cornering grip (using low ride height and low spring rate). the top grip value will become smaller when using higher ride height or higher spring rate.
ie. if using 2/2 spring rate 100/100 ride height, have the max cornering grip on 1.5 camber then using 20/20 spring rate will have the max cornering grip on 1.0 camber. I think I will test this again and put it in learn from hybrid thread.
You can read my test on toe on side by side and learn from hybrid thread.

That depends on the car, depends on the corner (to corner at different speeds you need different camber values), depends on other setup settings (like downforce and suspension stiffness), depends on your driving style (if you like to drift or not, if you like understeer/oversteer)... depends on many things... :rolleyes:

It's funny to see people looking for perfect and universal settings when it doesn't exist...

The important is to understand what each thing do, and how it affects the cars handling. Then, after some practice, you'll be able to find a good setting for a specific car and track, that matches with your driving style.

You might want to take a look at this thread that explains many things about camber, toe, and everything else in car setups.
