Have a nose at this thread, Not sure if they can sort you out with the fronts or not. Also if the rear end hasn't been slotted you might find that lowering it any more makes it handle like a bag of ferrets because of the amount of neggy camber you'll end up with. On the Avo -35 jobbies we've got around 3 degs!

The negative camber will help with cornering grip if there is average body roll. The front will slide out before the rear unless its power oversteer.

zero front camber and lots of neg rear camber will cause this. Its best to increase the front camber and then reduce the rear a little.

Easier said then done though

I had 4 deg's on the rear of mine and never had issues except when trying to launch.

The front end does a lot more work than the rear, and thats where the first attention should be paid.

Wouldn't say it will handle like a bag of ferrets, the camber actually helps keep the rear in place around the bends.
