It'll be good in a straight line. Not so good in the corners.

how much have you lowered it . i got 60 mm springs with spax shocks. handling is not the best n would love to sort the camber out but if i ajust it any more it will catch the arches .

For fast road/occasional track use i'd set them to 1.5 degrees negative camber.....does all depend on what you want it for, you could always adjust them for different circumstances if you have access to camber gauges.
