The lack of bend at all or reduced curve makes them longer and gives you a -.75 camber. It has to be longer or you would not get a negative camber.
Oh I see, it's the lower ones. I was looking at the upper... I thought it was them that gave negative camber. My bad. It's all new to me.

I'm looking to refresh my suspension (arms/bushes/balljoints) to tighten things up a bit. It's the full height suspension, I don't want to lower it. I am after a nice sophisticated feeling ride. Some people say the M3 arms make it feel a bit harsh. What do you guys think? OEM or M3? I don't really do fast driving anymore.
