Drives: Your Little Sister Wild

Hsun and I were discussing his install of this kit, and a question came up.

Heres an FYI for this kit which we discussed:




Heres a quick picture of the camber curve. The blue line is where the control arm is level, and the red, below level (and you can picture the same line for the arm being above level.)

If your control arm was level or close to level before, and is now angled farther down, you will have less static camber. The top of the strut is fixed, so you can see how moving the pickup point in (by the control arm being up or down) at the bottom decreases static camber.

BUT: once you start to roll, you are gaining negative camber via the camber curve until the control arm is level. The kit also adds roll stiffness, due to the way the control arm moves through its arc and camber curve.
