1. worsen the car's turn-in response.
2. increase the car's braking distance.
It's too bad that most cars aren't adjustable for caster. Now there's a hell of a tuning tool!

It will negatively impact the cars acceleration since the weight of the car is not distributed evenly over the tire patch possibly causing excessive tire slip on take off.Best bet here is to correct the camber problem.Jens
