You'd need to have way more than -3 deg camber for "rain safety" to be compromised.

And I would suspect tire design has a much greater affect on rain driving than any camber setting from 0 to -3.

For a VIP car on bags, -7 is just a regular Tuesday afternoon.

Camber settings are relevant because the Z DOES NOT HAVE FRONT ADJUSTMENT. There is some range in the rear

There is some camber from raising/lowering the car, but its not within your specific control.

Camber can greatly affect wheel fitment. I have steadily maintained that with the correct combination of camber, height, fender rolling, and wheel/tire sizing, you can fit essentially everything on the Z. It has a buttload of fitment, you just have to put in the effort.

This is why adjustable arms, especially in front, are so important. SPL/Voodoo arms are fully camber AND caster adjustable, so once you have those, you've unlocked the full capability of the Z.

It's also why gauging "fit" when the car is in the air is basically worthless.

to make it short...I think camber amount is all about personal taste. TOO MUCH, well we know it when we see it, if we have some common sense.
