I am asking this because my RA65 Celica has some wierd camber happening up front ... -3 (left) and -1(right) ... probably from the earlier prang
Although the Celica has no front camber adjustment, it can be fixed by bending bits and pieces here and there I guess...
SO what I want to ask is what camber do you run on your car for road use ??

-2.5 a side on my KE70, made an unbelievable difference over the positive camber that was there before, absolutely ENORMOUS difference.

yes camber is good,
allthough
i have excessive camber in the rear (more than at the front, like double) and in the wet i have absolutley no traction in the rear, at 1.4 throttle driving in the hills at 60 the tail has no traction during any cornering, its probably pretty dangerous id never let anyone else drive it in the wet.. fun tho

i hear ya man. my ra60 has serious tyre wear on the outsides of the wheels. crappy positive camber.
i've been told apparently u can use mx83? lower control arms to give more neg camber. i think u have to mod the lower strut mount tho.

I generally find that about -1.0 degrees camber is fine. Anything more is kind of excessive for a street car. If you want to really alter the way your car behaves then fiddle with the toe-in and then match your camber to even out the tyre usage.

Try MX73 if you're looking for a little bit James, you've got to mod the steering arms to suit though. I've got a set thats been done lying around too 
Tyre wear? Actually it's only been there a couple of weeks, so I haven't quite destroyed the tyres yet. Oh darn..
