if camber is off you would still go straight. however unless your psuhing major hp a slight camber change from a 1.5 inch drop would NEVER give a actual felt loss of power.
I honestly completely believe that there is nothing wrong... i just think you are not used to driving a car that has no body roll on acceleration or braking.
in fact like i said before, upgradign suspension can actually IMPROVE your times. not hp number but 0-60 and 1/4. like i said before body lean is your car raping the wheels of power that they should have got but instead its going to leaning the car forward and back. new suspension- no more raping
your brakes may seem worse but in fact are perforaming better. nose diving decreases brakes effectiveness because the rear end of the car is getting way less weight over the rear wheels causing a much more likely case of you ABS kickign in liek crazy on the rear wheels. so with suspension your brakes in reality will actualyl stop you better.
you say ur engine seems louder, not sure about that one but at this point i think its just an illusion. were as before when you accelerated your mind focused on yourself beign pushed back into the seat because of body lean, where as now theres no body lean so now your concentrating on listening to the engine.- did you get a new air filter installed like k and n or something. because that woul dmake soem extra noise.
suspsion CAN NOT CHANGE ANY VEHICLES HP/TQ power . its is physically impossible for suspension to change how a engine is making power. just not possible. so any change good or bad (to you)felt when you do suspension is ONLY a FEELING. a car that does a 13 second 1/4 can feel twice as slow as a car that runs 15's all because of how the suspension make the car handle upon acceleration. but in fact the SLOWER FEELING car is indeed faster.
