I keep seeing people say that when the body rolls, negative camber provides a flat contact patch.
wrooong.
When the body rolls, your camber goes even farther negative, because that roll is compressing the suspension on that side. What gives you a flat contact patch is the way the tire flexes under sideways forces, it's basically pushed over, just like if you push sideways on the parked car (only obviously more extreme).
If you have too much negative camber, it will be easy to break away the rear, but obviously, you'll chew up tires. (however if you're NOT drifting, -2.5, in my experience, really didn't increase wear THAT much, but it has considerably less traction in a strait line. I have an open diff, but I'd spin the inner tire without meaning to on hard turns, if I had an LSD I don't know if it would have mad more grip on the outside, or just broken both).
You could at least try putting it in fsm spec. I forget exactly, but it's like -.25 to -1.35, or something like that.
