Need your help Highrev.

Does having negative camber in the front have more effect than having camber in the rear? I just don't see a point of having much rear camber unless the car is accelerating out of a turn but our cars do not fully take advantage of our rear wheels to accelerate out a turn, so there isn't really a need to have that much camber as the stock setting since it doesn't fully benefit it (I'm just saying stuff here and I don't know if I'm right or wrong). I was planning to get ~1.0 neg camber up front and ~0 camber up back using the revised stock arm based on TSB 08-001. From my understanding, our rear suspension is designed to increase in negative camber during load or if the car is lowered (I'm planning to lower the car about an inch). Toe will be 0 all around. What do you think? I hope this make sense.

I'm a complete newbie about this..
