Friends shouldn't let friends drive with too much negative camber. I, apparently, must have no friends :pface.

that was 1.5 IIRC. those tires took an abuse at the last autocross i went to. I had to run my streets up front cause the wheels i had my slicks mounted on didn't clear my calipers. oops. so in my infinite wisdom, i decided that my slicks that did fit needed to be on the rear instead of running my streets on all four corners.

you should see me drive on 5+ positive camber on my integra after slaming it against the curb, it totally sucked :(

the sad thing is I had to drive it like that for a month, by the time I am able to fix it the tire have the metallic mesh exposed and gone... down to last bit of rubber

My buddy's tires were just like that, only with large chunks of rubber missing and wires showing. That shiz hurts if you stick it in your finger accidentally.
