youd be better off changing your castor angle to -3 or -4 and a castor of +4 or +5

the car has a camber angle anyway.. Laughing
whether it be zero or more/less

i assume you mean neg camber on the fronts.
on a stock car, i dont really think you would notice...

neg camber on the front would reduce understeer. how much on a stock suspension i dont know, but should improve.

too much front camber can make car understeer more
and when drifting, i'm guessing you have less body roll (since you have only front wheel traction) and so you wouldn't really want much more camber anyway?

it would be ultrasooperdooperfoolysikdorifto tho, and you will get heaps of respect from small kids at the supermarket Twisted Evil

if you don't know why it's broke, don't fix it Wink

www.secretdrift.com
www.driftzone.com
