This is typical of what many say their alignment is.
Is there any reason not to be even more agressive.
Say, maybe -2 degrees negative camber in the back, and -1.5 degrees in
the front?  Is a wider tire (205 vs. 185) more or less sensitive to
lots of negative camber?

It seems to me that if a little camber is good, then more should be better.

Thrown out to start some discussion.  I will probably get mine done
soon, and am curious how it came about that most of you have very
similar alignment setups.
