Control Arm Install - More Initial Camber or Less Initial

Team

About to install Speedtrech Road Assault Suspension kit on 1970 Cutass. Control Arm Instructions have diagram (See attached). Which is better for conservative street driving? MORE initial camber or LESS initial camber Just looking for improved performance and handling under routine driving - occasional exercising the of the horses but mostly in straight away.... not a cornering wild man.

Thanks
Bob

Neither is correct. Camber should be at factory spec. Unless there was some reason why you couldn't achieve the correct camber setting with the original shaft, there is no reason to use an offset shaft.

More CASTER is desirable to improve steering response and feel. This shaft won't help that one way or the other.
