Because we can

Off the show room floor the Camaro understeers. We can correct understeer by:

adding a larger rear bar
increasing the front track
reducing rear camber
increasing the front tire size
moving weight around in the car
lightening the front end

We could add more to the list, but you get the idea. With the old style bar setup, we used a formula for rear camber to reduce understeer. Rear camber should be half the front camber or less. With the new bar setup, we can run higher rear negative camber and and maintain the balance of the car. The end result is the Camaro with the new FE4 / ZL1 Pedders bars remains neutral with higher rear negative camber and corners better.
