Suppose I can somehow get more negative camber. In terms of getting more front end grip, will I be better off with the stock swaybar or with the M3 swaybar? I am trying to assess when the stiffer front swaybar actually helps. Is it when combined with rear swaybar? Is it when combined with more negative camber?
And what is the theory behind more body roll leads to less understeer? Could it be that the loading of the suspension with body roll induces dynamic negative camber on top of the static negative camber? I can see this being the case with double wishbone suspensions, but I don't know if the McPherson strut suspension has the property of increased negative camber with suspension loading.
