Two full turns of the pivot block changes your camber by about 1 degree. We recommend about 2 degrees of negative camber for high speed cornering. Radius arms work similarly.

What’s the difference between Camber and caster angles?

While greater caster angles serve to improve straight-line stability, they also cause an increase in steering effort. Three to five degrees of positive caster is the typical range of settings. CAMBER? Camber is the angle of the wheel relative to vertical, as viewed from the front or the rear of the car.
