How much negative camber can you have during straight line braking before stoping ability detriorates?

I'm gonna get real scientific here and say... a bunch. :)

I ran 3 degrees negative camber on my 142 racecar and I don't remember ever locking up a front wheel, while braking with the best of the similarly equipped cars. This is with some pretty sticky tires, which always helps.

My car was similarly lowered, although I had a hard limit that I could not exceed... by the rules, rocker panel (not including pinch weld) has to be 5 inches above ground. Couldn't move suspension pickup points (or shock mount locations, for that matter), so it's simply a lowered stock front suspension with really good shocks to go with much stiffer (675 lb/in) springs and heavier anti-roll bar.
