Just making sure you (and others who might see this) are aware that locating the struts parallel with the half-shafts is purely a drag racing thing, as it is meant to virtually eliminate camber gain in squat during launch.

However, for best cornering having the right amount of negative camber gain is a good thing. Other than for the strip, what that amount is may vary from application to application, but a good rule of thumb IMCO is to start at Greenwood's recommended height and work your way from there thru testing.
