I find it far too aggressive for anything as far as street and putting down the power... But I could only hope that Nissan at least had a good reason for doing it, perhaps for you guys? It is of course further exaggerated when you start with the control arm angles of a lowered car.

Is it too much for everyone, or is it beneficial for those of you on road course and auto x?
If the rear suspension can be setup correctly with a very mild amount of static negative camber, then they get off corners well while still being at a ideal contact patch midcorner. Hence why I recommend nothing over -2 in back and thats on the upper end. -1.5 to -1.75 really helps the car to come off slow corners well and still not roll onto its outside edge in sweepers
