Raising the inner camber link on this particular car at my particular track did several things. It increased the corner speed, it reduced the tire wear, increased stabliltiy, increased the grip in and out of the corner and it made the car way easier to drive. Also if you look at your current tires you will see more tire wear on the inside of the tire or possibly some cupping, when raising the inner camber link it moved the wear pattern to the middle of the tire wear it should be and the cupping was gone because I was using the tire equally. After 4 runs and continuous tire observations this told me that the contact patch was directly in the middle of the tire throughout most of the lap which ultimatley provided more traction everywhere.

Just because alot of people use 1 -2mm under the ball stud doesn't mean you have too at your track and it doens't mean it's right . On a medium grip carpet track this seem to wake the car up and work the best. Try it!
Thanks for sharing Sean.... hopefully I can at least be at the same lap as you next round.
Cheers!
