negative camber

Too Afraid to Ask

Negative camber means the top of the tires lean in towards the car. This helps the car grip better when turning, making it handle more effectively.

Technical Definition

Negative camber refers to the angle of the wheels in relation to the road surface, where the top of the wheel is tilted inward. This setup can improve cornering performance by increasing the tire's contact patch during turns.
