I was able to get very little negative camber due to the "wonderful" off-road

style ride height of the new cars.  I didn't get a readout (their printer

was on the fritz) but he waid he couldn't really get it much outside the

specs.

They don't.  They keep the ride height stock (which is required for stock

class competition).  They basically help you offset the inability to use

stiffer springs and sway bars (at both ends) and give you sharper transient

response.



I believe the Koni's have adjustable perches, which would let you lower the

car and thus gain negative camber.  but then you wouldn't be legal in the

stock class anymore...
