*EDITED WITH PICS!* Baker BM Adjustable camber, fixed caster Top Mounts

[Ed Doe]

I'm running mildly increased camber and caster with compbrake top-mounts. Basically the car feels to me like it has more front-end grip. Increasing caster angle basically increases the camber abgle the more you turn the steering wheel. Have you looked at a BMW or Merc on full lock? Notice the wheels 'lean over'? That's caster.

Increasing camber improves grip in the corners, as the car 'rolls onto the main footprint of the tyre' the harder you corner, rather than rolling off the main footprint and more onto the outer shoulder. Too much camber however will reduce braking grip as simply it reduces the tyre contact patch on the road in a straight line. If you're running heavy camber it will also scrub the arse off the inside shoulder of your tyres.

Summary; Camber & caster are good things if properly tuned to your particular required end-use. If you're running -4deg camber on a daily, you're gonna go through a set of tyres in a couple of thousand miles. But the ability to relatively easily adjust the camber settings means it's easier to run some rude camber for a trackday, but also not kill the tyres when you drive home!
