Mike,
If your car has been up on jacks and you've just lowered it after installing
new shocks, you will see postive camber -- that is, until the car has been
driven a few feet. If it exhibits positive camber as a rule,
congratulations. Most Spitfire owners have the opposite problem!
Best wishes,
Jeff
