I have found over god knows how many years I have been setting up car for people that the 1st thing many people do is run to much tire pressure then way to much camber .

you could see in ballers AKA steve's early in car videos the car was handling like crap ! all over the place under braking and understeering very badly .
some help was the rear spoiler I build for him to stabilize the car but the other was tire pressures .
I could fix the turn 3 understeer but not when he is running in my class now . if it was a t40 car I would take care of it for him .

with camber most people add way to much . often more then 1.2 is just not needed with DOT tires . in fact it's some times worse then a stock camber setting as your using less contact patch of the tire . then add to much air on top if it and your 7" wide tires are only really 3" because that all the tire patch that's getting used .
