I have my 87 spg set to -1.4 degrees with 205/55 tires. I noticed a big difference in cornering ability. The front end no longer has the tendency to overplow in the corners. I forget if it's called over or understeer. I have noticed the steering is not as light as it was before. I can't explain that.. another thing is my tire wear is pretty even. the outer edges are still more worn than the center but are even to each other. I raised the tire pressure to 34front /36 rear in an attempt to wear the center but it probably won't work due to my hard cornering. I actually installed the camber spacers myself and had the local garage set the toe for $25. I calculated enough thickness to put it at -.75 or so but overshot. I added somthing like 1/4 inch of spacers to all four bolts!
