GREAT SUSPENSION ARTICLE FROM FATMAN FAB,CHEVY HIGH PERFORMANCE JAN2013, page 68 in How it works, 12 pages and they cover just about everything... they have the mustang ll stuff really working well, it is better and stonger than a camaro..
a road course car is inherently unstable, it wants to turn. Negitive camber, minimal caster, and toe out are used to make the car want to avoid staying straight. toe in makes the car go straight.
i have a 88 monte carlo set up for road racing, weighs 3000lbs, 440 hp. to fix my bumpsteer i took a 90 camaro shortened it 1", this put my tie rods parallel to the ground, plus it set my idler and pitman are out 6 degrees each (THIS GAVE ME A LITTLE NEGITIVE ACKERMANN). this gave me zero toe at a 10 degree turn, G BODYS normal is 2 to 3 degrees TOE out in a 10 degree turn, a lot of scuff. i had to run 700 lbs front springs to compensate for our terrible michigan roads.
