Hey jim I think you have your camber mixed up. Putting 1.5 deg pos itive on right side and 2/3 pos on left will make that car to the right, bad. your wheels would look like this: / / ( from behind) If you rember on a bike, if you lean that way it will turn that way. The road also tilts to the right, so a car set up like that will have a hard time keeping out of the ditch.

The relocated holes don't make it have more camber, it makes so when the spring compresses it changes the camber curve. factory it will go positive, with the mod it will go negative. So when you turn hard right(for example) the left side compresses, and instead of the tire trying to out at the top and giving a smaller contact patch the harder you turn, it goes the other way and keaps the tire flat.

I have only seen a handfull of cars with positive camber as a spec. And those tend to front drivers that grandma might drive.
