 I had them flipped over today. What you see on the bottom is what Azenis look like in a heavy car running only 1.7* negative camber. (the bottom of the pic used to be the outside of the tire) I rotated these front to rear for different events to get them to wear evenly. Hopefully I'll get another 30-40 runs out of them before I have to get new ones.

A little off topic but does your inside rear come off the ground in the turns with your susp. setup?
I have seen picks of stock csvt doing that on stock susp.
98 csvt t-red.. sho-shop intake, b&m, fidanza, spec1 clutch, Torsen, DMD,optimized Y& TB, Brullen, rear strut bar,h&r's,17" konig traffik's.

Yes, stock SVT's will do that. Infact all stock Contours should. Mine did it all the time.

Wes, You said you run -1.7* camber. What is the range of that kit? Not second-guessing your setup, just considering a purchase  Thanks, Randy

After I installed the H&Rs (with the camber kit set at full negative camber) and took it to the alignment rack, it was set so wacky high that the machine couldn't get a reading. Of course, the toe in looked like I had broken both tie rods too, so that may have helped the problem too. The guy estimated about 3.5-4* camber was there. I went with a more middle setting, but what I should have done was go under the hood with a sharpie, tip the tech guy, and manipulate the camber and get toe/camber/caster ratings at different settings so that I could make adjustments later on (like in the pits of an autox course).
That's what I get for being so damn_smart, huh?

I don't think ALL contours will do that, and tires would make a HUGE difference when it comes to lifting the inside rear wheel.

I could be wrong, but i do beleave he ment all tours with azenis will do that. Obviously my old worn out bald kumos arent gonna do that. My question however was more along the lines would a tour with H&r's, konis and a big rear sway bar lift the inside tire.

OOo, yeah that makes sense. I can't wait till the day I get some 15"s with azenis. After that, I can't wait for the day that I can find a place to auto-x.

every SVT contour with stock or close to stock suspension will pull the inside rear off the ground no matter what tires your running..
