(TOP RIGHT) Positive camber: The bottoms of the wheels are closer together than the tops. (TOP LEFT) Negative camber: The tops of the wheels are closer together than the bottoms.

Unless I'm completely confused (which has happened before, and will happen again), either the illustration or the text got right and left reversed. It is interesting, though, how I kept wanting the text to describe the image in the same direction that I read regardless what side the text said. Anyone else notice that?
Besides that one little detail, its a great post. I learned a lot. Thanks!

Thank you so much for putting this together. This was extremely helpful and I applied a lot of this information in selecting my suspension setup. Can't wait to see the final results!

What does rear neg camber do? Our 06-07 civics come with something like 1.something degrees of neg camber. The TSB allows it to be fixed via new arms. I was not going to get it replaced because i was under the assumption that the neg camber will give me better handling or traction when i take turns fast. I like to use my brakes as little as possible so i take my turns a little fast. Am i right?

Neg camber generally results in more grip.

more neg camber in the rear than the front will cause understeer..
