Mad Negative Camber. Why?

[nicky.mattsson]

Hi all

Having looked through loads of threads and also seen it on the road can anyone elighten me as to why some people - especially the VW boys run really mad negative camber on the rear?

Is it for handling?

You already know the answer:

The reason they run mad -ve camber is the same as the use of undersizes tyres on oversize rims.
The ONLY thing that matters is 'The Look'. Cars used a fashion accessories, were form wins over function every time.

So in a nutshell they its done for the same reason that the chav down the road has put 50inch wheels on his Saxo, it looks good (apparently)??????

I can kind of understand it on a Beetle, i think it looks ok, but what i cant get my head around is why other cars i see have done it. arlier on this year on my way into Santa Pod i saw a EK Civic with it, so i thught it might be something to do with handling.... obviously not.
