Of course it should be pointed out that this works mostly on cars with
MacPherson struts (which James' old RX7 has).  That's because with struts,
decreasing body roll also decreases the camber gain associated with it, and
struts are lousy at controlling camber.

This is why us guys with double-wishbone (or unequal-length control arm, if
you prefer) suspensions can get away with relatively less static camber.
