The negative camber by itself doesn't really driveability that much, what
makes most dedicated autocross cars more difficult to street drive is the
toe-out that most rwd cars run. Tends to make them very twitchy on road
grooves and such. I ran -2 degrees of camber for years in my VW autocrosser
(swing-axle bug, so similar rear suspension too) and just backed off the toe
setting (to 0") during the off season. One thing excessive camber will do on
a street car is wear out the insides of the tires quicker.
