THM exclusive: SPC full camber kits available! Save your tires!

The change in handling is probably more to do with the change in spring rate than anything else. I doubt that the rear camber change would adversely alter an understeer

What I'm getting at is that my front went from stock -1.6 camber to -2.0 after lowering. The spring rate and damping rate affect body roll, which somewhat affects understeer, but just going to more negative camber will preent you from rolling over the edge of your tire, thus giving more front grip and reducing understeer.
