Confusing. I've heard from another source that you want toe-out with high amounts of camber to reduce tire wear..

My old lowered 164 ran about 2.5 degrees and they tend to run alot of negative camber. Of course it had great grip with that much camber!

How'd you like your lowered 164? Was it an S, L? How low was it?
I saw an L that was converted to S specs one time, and it was slammed...looked bitchin'.
Also, I don't see why a lot of toe-in wouldn't wear the tires equally fast, especially with tons of camber. What am I missing?

Pretty good handling but serious wheelspin in low speed tight corners. The brakes are marginal on the 164 in my opinion. Loved the fast steering rack in the 164 S. The car in general was miles away better built than the Milano and a better turn key driver.
Oh, it had the factory Recaros too.

but toe in for compansating lot of camber? very strange ... heavy camber cause toe in even if toe is set to zero ... so heavy i camber+ lot of toe will bust tires very fast !

Why does heavy negative camber cause tow in? Is this why I've read someone mentioning camber thrust, and using tow out to counteract this?'
Mats,
San Diego is a beautiful place. The area near Jes is even prettier!
