Is it actually fun to drive cars that have silly-ass camber from being dropped so low?
I'm not hating, or trolling, I just don't get it. I thought maybe in time it would make sense, but I'm just as confused as 5 years ago. To me, it's not aesthetically pleasing, and it doesn't seem very functional either.

Anyways, aside from that: cool build. The subframe looks fantastic.

Camber is functional, look at a lot of road race cars.

Front camber is very positive in drifting, due to the leading tire gaining camber (going towards positive) when the tire is turned. Henceforth having maximum front traction when the tire is turned to full lock, but obviously this will hurt straight line braking. But if your going strainght your not having that much fun. lol

Rear camber is not as helpful as it is in the back. usually anything over 2deg is uneccessary and is just for wheel fitment or whatever. But it helps when the car squats or leans slightly.

Look at f1 and road race cars. Look at the amount of camber they run, and they already have altered suspensions that reduce the amount of camber gain with tire angle, squat, etc....
