    whats up with you and the negative camber on the rear wheels in all your chops... IMO it looks terrible...
    But that is just IMO...

    Negative camber is good, but that is fucking ridiculous, the Rav4 has like 3 cm of contact patch on the rear wheels....duh!

    Other than the fact that Negative chamber eats the shit outta your rubber, what exactly is so good about it?

    a certain amount of negative camber in the front and the rear allows for better traction i think.

    Camber allows the car to have more stability in the turns. Even though there is less of a contact patch, when you corner a car hard, the angle of the tire on the road flattens to an almost flat contact patch, giving more grip. When you have neutral camber, the tire will be flat on straights, then lift outwards on corners, reducing contact patch and ultimately, grip.
