You may think you have -3 rear camber when measured with tires and wheels and your camber gauge, but when you put the metal set up wheels on and measure again your actual physical measurements are not even close to what you believe you are running. We termed it running measurements which obviously differ greatly from the actual measurements. No one is going to be running with -5 rear camber ( closer to -3 in running measurement) and in turn if you set your camber to -3 with the set up wheels you will really be at -1 or even 0 in your racing measurement making the entire process completely rediculous. I agree with you Big Ed, it's assinine and a complete waste of time.
That was a whole lot of text to read just to get to the bold line
