    Yeah, I just Googled some pics...20" wheels with your drop looks great...the 18's remind me of the 80's where cars came with 12" wheels. LOL

    yesterday the alignment went great and the car is corner balanced within something like 45 pounds when it was off over 300 when i drove into the shop. alignment specs for anyone that knows what they mean or cares:



    so yes, i am running a bit of camber all around the car (-2.5+). it shouldn't wear the tires too unevenly because of the rest of the alignment being in check. it handles like it's on freakin rails now.

    and due to the corner balancing and the rubbing up front the front end came up probably 10mm so i ended up with a bit more 'racecar stance' than i was initially hoping for, but **** it still looks great.



    i stared into the reflection in a few cars on the way into work. it looks killer rolling.

    the picture is a bit misleading because it's the "good" angle to take pictures of this car from and the tires are down in ruts in the parking lot. here's a shot from the front that shows it's not completely dumped.



    tires are all still barely tucked which means the front is technically lower than the rear because of the shapes of the fenders, but the rockers are completely level with the ground front to back. i like how it sits.

    it also sits lower with me in it since it was balanced correctly with me in it.

    Coming along nice, I want BC c/o, but I also want LT's with cat back. Both are very expensive.

    It will really only wear the inside edge of every tire down over time because of the camber.
