Default Camber, how much is too much?

first off, i know negative camber has function and i know its also needed in some circumstances, but some people take it too far. i wanted to get some opinions on how much you think is too much? maybe even post some pics.

I don't see any good reason for exceeding -2.5 degrees unless you modeled your suspension and you need it for racing purposes (and have modeled your suspension to verify that you need it)

I think it depends on the car, some can get away with alot more then others and still look good. I dont think Hyundai's can pull off much.



^^^ they are just freaking rediculous

Unfortunately for this car. It would look tuff if they didn't screw up the camber so much
