Default Rear end camber...pros and cons?

'Splain me. I think I know but some you guys are pretty smart...how much is too much or just right?

Pros:
Contact patch

Cons:
Tire wear
Axle becomes a consumable

Intended use is a Sunday driver and transpo to an event where I get to help put Meguire's instant detailer on Todd's car....

I'll be curious to hear what the pro's think but IMO if you are thinking about doing this to your car drive on a track first and see how she handles.

My recent run at T-Hill I couldn't get the rear to slide one bit. I couldn't keep up with the track and spent most my time adjusting tire pressures and alignment. Next time out I'll be spending more time adjusting rear roll center.

Accelerate the car, push mostly, and with camber hopefully keep a line in a corner...
