Default Best camber for drifting (least traction)

What's the best camber setup for the least traction on the rear wheels (for drifting purposes)

I currently have -1.7 on each, which is the stock I guess?

reducing rear camber to 0, even going positive, would definitely loosen up the rear.

that's what I read recently, though one of my friend told me that say -1.7 will put no grip while -3 puts a lot of grip, his theory was that on drifting or cornering, when you have -1.7 the wheel will straighten up from outside and loose grip from inside which makes it loose, while if you have -3 let's say, you will have grip all over the wheel in such scenario, that what they do on auto cross or something similar, it made a little sense, though I felt that after putting -1.7 it was less loose So, yes I guess I'll try 0 as you said.

Bald tires should help you drift as well.

That I'm doing already. I also want the best camber setup for that.

Well considering I work in Rancho Santa Margarita and the rainy season will be here before we know it can you let me know when you are usually on the roads now so I can avoid you....lol
