If you note, that indicates they're running the old A3S03.

And we had the rears stood up just to eliminate inside wheelspin. More camber only made that worse, but since Steve and Jason have eliminated that problem through shock valving, it's quite possible they can run more camber in the rear now.

Of course, none of these cars are lowered and are on stock springs.
That's exactly the debate here, you don't need -2.0 degrees of camber on street tires.
Just because you lower the car does not equal more grip, namely when shock valving stays the same.

You'd have to agree with that?

Exactly - and the cars that are lowered are probably limited (unless they've changed one of the suspension arms) to running their camber in the rear at the absolute minimums.

Just made an appointment at the Honda dealership for my Alignment....goes in Monday morning.

I am good friends with head technician at the Appleton Honda dealer So I know the S will be in good hands.
