Do you mean more positive or negative camber? Wouldn't positive camber reduce grip and increase rear-end step-out?

I would like to improve grip without changing the handling balance of the rx8. I am wondering SouthFL what springs do you plan on run with your koni's?

I am considering bilstiens with the racing beat suspension kit and some 17" R-compound's.
Easiest way to improve grip without changing the balance would be to swap to a sticky set of tires.

As for springs, I'm goint to use Tein H-Techs.
