You must struggle for traction off the line

So issues with camber, Can it reduce grip, In cornering in wet and dry also?..
A few weeks back on a slightly damp but mostly dry road, I was turning this corner, Not a typical corner, A bit of a sweeping corner, Anyway, Went around it and got the rear out, A good 4 foot, Speed was low, Steering input was small, Grip is 215's rear road worthy tyres E30's.
Is this common with, As i call them, /-\ <--- A rear Tyres?.

I would think that it would increase grip a small amount on the outside tyre but i doubt it would be much. I noticed my car was more tail happy after being lowered but i assumed that was because it had less body roll and would turn better. But with richs tyres it looks like he is running mostly on the inside groove and about 25% of the tyre so it would have to be worse than running 0 camber

Bought some slotted rotors today due to starting to get some brake shuddering.

Also been thinking and i might sell the vt and buy a rodeo dual cab instead.

i thought the T was too slow and you wanted a 5lt ute, then you wanted a LS1 now your thinkin rodeo? you should own a car yark nick.

[nicko]

lol yeh i know. atleast im sticking with the ute idea!!

[DVSV8]

[nicko]

I'm really mad with the amount of grip my Berlina doesn't have..
Comparing it to the old VP, And they are meant to have **** grip, But it's the car with the grip?, I can turn a corner and floor it almost straight, And it will burn up the road in 1st gear, Smoke poring out the rear?,
Do that same corner with the VP, It's got great grip with a lighter body?.
VP runs on 225's and SL springs, I think the VT is Lows and 215's.

Sorry if i have taken over the thread.
