I'll probably be sorry for this input, haha...

But that sounds like a bad thing. Maybe thats what you are saying, I dunno. To be clear, your saying a shorter arm will cause more negative camber under compression (at least thats what I'm picturing happening in my mind). Wouldn't you want more positive camber during the compression motion, say in a corner? If I'm already running a bit negative and the shorter arm brings in even further, I seem to be canceling out the benefit of the negative camber to bring the tire straight up in a corner?


Either I just made a complete ass of myself or... well, yea.
