i was looking over old posts...and i noticed that on one pic of the Terminviiior theres a lot of negative camber on the wheels. Firstly...is that not a bad thing, secondly...what would the effect be on suspension parts due to the camber change? Or would that actually be better in combatting body roll in the turns?

Ray has been real adament about telling people that you should not drive your car in the lowered position. He claerly states that it will trash your suspension and cause drivability issues. If you want to drive lowered, either sensor lower your car, or go with a lowering kit that eliminates the air suspension.

People need to be aware that even sensor lowering will cause premature wear of the suspension parts. If you sensor lower, count on needing replacement UCA and LCA within a year or two, especially if you lower it lower than the factory adjustment range. Comes with the territory.

Any type of lowering...........

Any lowering that is done without an engineered kit will more than likely have some sort of negative effect on either parts or handeling of the car. One of the other effects that Ray clearly warns about is the fact that the compressor will have to work harder. It may cause failure of a weak compressor, or may even cause a good one to go bad quicker. He really does spell all of this out.

it would help to because your draining your system fully so you can get some of the moist air out

You are actually adding moisture to the system. Compressing air causes heat, which will cause condensation to form, which will add moisture to the system. You will get rid of some of the moisture when you lower, but since the moisture collects at the low points in the system, you will eventually get more.

If you are concerned with moisture, get a spider valve and upgraded compressor from Eddie @ American Air.
