It's one thing to have serious camber in the front, since when your goign through a turn, the majority of weight is transfered to the front until you accelerate, by that time your usually straightening up, so its not that necessary inthe rear as it is in the front. If you take a look at the photos you have, the front has alot, the rear, minimal.

The problem is, this is being done to daily drivers, this trick is for race cars that turn alot. It's not necessary to have it in the rear, especially that much ( see above quote answer) but going down the highway, it is more dangerous then safe to have your rear with such an angle. that lip that you are riding on now grabs anything, and will pull your vehicle. I'm sure we've all experienced that when were in truck ruts on the parkway or in industiral areas, imagine that with a camber angle like that, you look like your warming your tires up for a NASCAR race. Also your creating excessive heat on a small area on the tire, weakening it, creating a possability for a blow out. It's a stupid fad that I see getting outlawed soon. I just lowered my car an inch, and have a little negative camber, and it feels fantastic in a turn, but I dread goign over the bridge to A.C. or when I get on rt.72 to go to work, I'm everywhere, my steerign wheel feels like it's goign to get pulled out of my hands.
