Question for the gurus: would increasing front positive caster and negative camber simultaneously be better than increasing just front camber? My simple understanding is increasing positive caster helps create negative camber when the wheels turn. I ask because, in my mind, wouldn't severe negative camber (like a -3 or even more) reduce straight line braking performance?
While I'm sure that high neg. camber will decrease straight line braking performance due to decreased tire contact patch, I can't think of any time in my autox car that I've ever thought "I need more brake". Granted that's autox vs. HPDE but I have to imagine that whatever you lose braking you more than make up for in cornering speed. fwiw I run -3 deg. up front on mine.
