Utterly predictable, and probably universally true with any significant 
lowering. You didn't expect this?

Don't worry, you won't turn into a pumpkin before the new cams arrive. 
-2.2 isn't that big a deal on street tires. If you nearly always corner 
aggressively, you may even like it that way. If you're planning on using 
DOT race tires Sunday, you may notice the extra neg camber. Learn to 
adjust for it during practice.
