camber "correction" kit is used to set the offset camber back to its original/ideal setting at 0. but basically its the same thing as a camber kit allowing you to adjust the camber depending on the driving style and car its being used on.

ok wait i got into an accident (sort of) and it through my alignment way off to the right. i spent a shit load of money at one place trying to fix it, went somewhere else and they gave me a camber (correction?) kit to fix it. It worked, but now my handling seems poorer

my negative camber enables me to take the corners incredibly hard w/decent traction. i take my car to the alignment shop and i tell 'em straight up, "i want negative camber" and if they ask why... i say, "i'mma racer"

and how would that affect handling of your car, say your car is lowered 4inches.

i guess I would first have to understand what camber is and what it does :rick:
