welcome. I have seen pics of your front fitment close up and wondered how you did that. My schmidts are 9"et15 and poke a bit. whats your width and offset? I need moar lowz and less poke in the front.
Me and Harry live in SF, but used to live in santa barbara. What part of california are you from? -------------------- there will always be somebody with a cooler car than you...just dont park next to that person

I love SF, but I was living in DTLA at the time. That was back some years though, i've been in Manhattan, Florida and Seattle since then. The car was parted and sold quite a while ago.  Wish i never did that! Front: 16x9 et25 Rear: 16x9 et15 Tires Front and Rear 205/40/16 Falken 512 Spacers Rear only - 10mm. Final et = 5. However, I was running 6 degrees of negative camber. Front, about 3 degrees of negative camber. Any other questions, let me know. -------------------- Render. Quench. Create.

post up pics of it and make a build thread! also how did you get 3 degrees of front camber? i have a stock lower bolt and h&r camber bolt on top. it doesnt seem to allow much camber.

I'm looking forward to getting that NA down and out though, that's for sure. It's been too long since i've been worrying about my oil-pan.  I had to do some custom work on the B&G's for that much camber. -------------------- Render. Quench. Create.

Yes, had to lobe the holes and I bought new hardware to really sinch them down so it didn't slide around on the streets. If you were confident you knew exactly how far you wanted to camber in, and wasn't concerned about the future you could tack-weld it into place or just go for the full-monty and well that shit solid. Last thing i'd want doing 70 is for one of my wheels to be sliding around between + and - negative haha. -------------------- Render. Quench. Create.

thanks^^^ do you have pics or should i just look up a build on vortex?
did you eat up tires? i bought the 2.5 banchwerks plates but im thinking i should have got the -5 plates. did your rear wheels hit your quarters? to keep the current fitment/lowz i think i may need stiffer springs in the rear. i have -2.5 in the rear from the banchwerks plates which act as a 10mm spacer and my schmidts keep hitting quarters, and the wheels aregetting gouged i might need a 3mm spacer or so to kick them away from the quarter if i dont change springs.any thoughts? -------------------- there will always be somebody with a cooler car than you...just dont park next to that person

Everything happened in one fell-swoop really, no real build threads.
Yeah, running that much camber is going to eat up the tires. It's just part of the game, they're cheap enough and replacing them is a 30 min job at shop. I wasn't concerned with tire-eating. I had fitment in the rear mapped out pretty good, never hit wheel to quarter panel. There was rubbage under hard cornering but the B&G's were stiff enough to keep things in good knick. Passangers in the rear was a no-no. What coils are you running? -------------------- Render. Quench. Create.
