Ok so was at a cruise/event yesterday and saw alot of seat leons and fiestas etc with alot of camber like this



and was thinking i might do it as i intend to slam my ST about 60mm but if i do do it will be nowhere near as much as that picture and was wondering will it cause problems?

You'll be going through tyres like no tomorrow, wheel bearings every five minutes and getting pulled by a copper every other.

Seen it done and can look nice but not my preference, the ST is a hot hatch and you wont be able to use it like it was intended for

A lot of Camber set ups like that are either for Track or Show. 90% are for show

As said, massive inner tyre wear, cracked inner side walls and strain on your bearings and struts. I'm not sure you could even do that without some strut modification.
One thing's for sure - you'll regret it.

I like the look of camber when its just a small bit, the fiesta st cup car has a bit but on the front not as much on the rear. It is suppose to give you better traction through hard cornering.

I don't like that look at all... It makes the wheels look so wonky and unsafe
