[s-cars] Understeer vs. oversteer?

Teddy:
Put me first on the list for a camber plate Group Buy. I've got the ECS
offset camber plates on my Avant, and while they've cured the inner tire
wear problem on the street, I just cannot get much negative camber at all
and that hurts me on the track.   Wearing the outer shoulder on Hoosiers
gets expensive!

The practical problem is that changing camber also changes toe, so every
"track" to "street" and back setting requires another trip to the alignment
shop.

Teddy....

*BINGO*

We have *got* to find someone to develop camber plates for our cars...

I'd buy a set for a reasonable price if someone developed them.  Perhaps if
we get a list of people who would buy one, we could convince ECS or someone
to develop them?  Im sure someone would if we had a list of 10 or 20
customers from the get-go....

Or, how do you say "camber plate" in German?  :-D   Perhaps we can find some
here...

 i'd want to put more negative camber into the front suspension.
if you have adjustable camber plates, you can have street and track
settings.
