Anyone know how neg camber affects handling other than prevents rubbbing?

I bought some camber bolts from Garm at Micro Image to help with my Auto Cross. The TruLube Yaris is points leader in my class (ST) so far, the camber adds to the handling esp helping decrease understeer, and combined with the TRD suspension and rear sway bar the car handles great.

Had I known I would have bought the Ultra Racing 23 mm sway bar Micro Image sells instead of the TRD.

Someday...so much to buy...

negative camber up front = sharper turn-in and overall improvement in turnability
negative camber in the rear = less oversteer.

you want a balance of f/r negative camber that gives you the type of handling you would like to fee.

you also want to play with tire pressures.

Do you mean less understeer? I don't see how we would ever want less oversteer with this car, there is none to begin with.

if you add negative camber to the rear tires, the rear tires will grip better during turns hence causing the car to oversteer less.

that is what he means.
