Can someone please explain the point in giving your car loads of camber unnecessarily apart from going through more tyres?

That car would look so much nicer with factory camber!

Dead straight on from the side it does sit very well, but as soon as the angle creeps round you see the stupid amount of poke, ridiculous camber and idiot council stretch. Oh yeah and comedy rims :(

Looks stupid, and must drive like crap.. Fail.

I am not adverse to a bit of stance, but that does not work. Blitz's offering looks the nuts though :cool:

It's done so you can fit wide wheels without poking out the arches. Imagine if they had no camber, the arch would be sat on the tyre.

Used to go mad for this kinda thing, and I do still like stance to some effect. But that is just stupid.

The yellow 'taxi' Merc on that thread is near mint and was bought for a criminally small amount of cash from a family friend (imagine 'barn find' but one that you knew about for years!). The bloke is from Braintree; he's a friendly guy. The car is beautiful.
