i am running BC racing coilovers, and hotchis sways.

on a side note, the car feels VERY responsive, there is literally no body roll felt (it will literally pick the inside rear tire OFF the ground about 3" when entering a driveway at an angle, sometimes causing me to back out since the limited slip sucks and it just spins the tire....)

BUT i feel like the grip of the car has decreased. the car doesnt feel as planted, and seems easier to slide. it is very controlable, and its not just the rear, or front, better yet all around grip. i have a feeling that since my camber has not been adjusted and is still negative (around 2.5 front, 3.0 rear) perhaps the car cannot lean enough to put the contact patch of the tire on the ground.

any insight on the above would be appriciated.

-3 camber for the rear is a ridiculous amount, bordering on retarded. Your car needs a rear camber/toe kit given its slammed status.
