---------------------------------------------Originally posted by TuckingLugs05June 15, 2007 - A certain subsection of Japanese car tuners - specifically those punch-permed bosozoku deep out in the country side - like to give their cars something known as onikamu - "demon camber", in English. In a nutshell, a car with demon camber is a car with an obscene amount of negative camber. Click here to see a photo of a Previa with the evilest of all evil cambers. Get the idea? Good. Back during Japan's pre-D1 drifting heyday, some of these demon camber aficionados liked to say that this extreme tire tuck was actually beneficial to overall performance. We've heard two reasons for this: the first reason centers around the idea that a car with reduced grip in the front would be easier to slide. The second theory behind the "advantages" of demon camber revolves around weight transfer. When a car takes a corner, the centripetal force causes the car to shift its weight to the outside of the corner, right? Apparently, when an onikamu-equipped car takes a corner, this weight shift is so great, the massively negative-cambered wheels will shift to a (slightly more) upright position (meaning less negative camber) and maximize the tire's contact patch. ---------------------------------------------Thats deep dude! I am digging the theories and they make sense. what bothers me the most is the amount of time that these tires might last.
