The camber bolts are scary... I've read the wrong camber settings can ruin a car...

is that true? dont know about camber bolts -.- what does -1.5 degrees in the front do exactly... and how would we set it up right.. or we need a mechanic that knows what hes doing ? lol

-edit: reading up on it now... when you drop your car it changes the camber angle which leads to faster wear and tear... and also at a negative in the front you can take turns better .. =D... but is it still true about the wrong settings?

-1.5 degrees gives you better corner grip if you're the sort of driver that likes to be enthusiastic around the twisty stuff. How much negative camber you actually need depends on your driving habits. If you regularly test the traction limits of your tires on freeway on/off ramps then negative 1.5 and beyond should serve you well. Otherwise, setting up that much negative camber and driving sedately would actually wear out the inside edge of your front tires prematurely. The idea is to spread the wear evenly on your front tires. By doing that, you're maximizing your tire grip as well.
