Does anyone give a crap about handling anymore?

Well you know, I'm building my car to drift. Lol. So please go into depth. I would rather have a more narrow tire if I can maximize the grip. Most cost effective.
0 camber = more forward grip which in theory is going to make drifting a tad more difficult but to me it is worth not having to ditch a set of tires prematurely because of camber wear.
I am no drift king but I do know that in drifting, the car setup is custom tailored to how you prefer the car to handle rather than some set formula that another guy figured out. If I had a drift car I would probably prioritize keeping my tire wear even with less rear camber and balance out the extra rear grip with a slightly stiffer rear spring.
But yes, Brian is right about how negative rear camber in the rear helps with handling. Good handling for grip driving calls for some negative camber so that the contact patch is maximized when the tire deforms from the cornering force.

Here is a nice chart for basic beginner suspension tuning

Stance = Cancer. It was neat to look at when it first came about. Now it's just asinine. For this I have created a new word.
"Stancerous"
adjective
Definition:
An over-abundance of camber, low, and "mad tyte style, bro"
Examples:
"Man that E36 M3 is clean, but mother fuck is it stancerous."
"A stancerous horde approacheth! To thine battlements!"
"Yolo bro-mo, my teggy fixin' to get stancerous up in this muh fucka."

^^^ LAWLZ!
Theres no denying that a car with a certain ride height, wheel, and tire combination looks absolutely fantastic but unfortunately it is taken to extremes.
I just wonder if this car still would have lost control if it had a stock suspension and alignment setup.

You guys an your stance-nanigans. But you're both cool guys, so we let it slide. lol.

If anyone receives hate, its me with my bottlecraps. I get more crap about having stock wheels than I ever imagined. In this day and age of bullying awareness, I am going to call bullying on the next man woman or child that disrespects my stock wheels.
Bottlecap brothers for life!*
*or until I get 16" wheels for my car.

Yep we just tolerate your Stancerous activities. that video was great haha
Lol, well thank you. It's about to get alot more wild this summer. So be prepared for both of us and our stupid stance setups. I'm not going to let Earls cat outta the bag. Or mine. But it should be a good one.

I'd totally rock Bottlecraps! But the offset kills it for me..
