They're 160N/mm or about 900lbs/in. It's a very unassuming package. Driver mod probably plays a part in this, but I gained at least an entire football field on a new ZL1 Camaro after a corner coming off a straightaway (obviously, 650hp wins there). After a few laps of eating bumper, I got the point-by.

225/45-17's, they're cheap-o Sport Edition SE-16's I got from Tire Rack on clearance. 17x7.5 ET40.

The camber gain is more favorable at a stock ride height, even though static camber decreases. So when you really lean into it, you just get that little bit of extra grip. Mine's a little lower than stock was for my car, but it's probably equivalent to M-Sport suspension height. I really like how usable and abusable it is now.
