Camber bolts! Set your front at -1 or -1.5 degrees and you will feel a noticeable difference, with little to no increased tire wear.

And.... GET an ALIGNMENT no matter what you do when you've completed this round of suspension modifications, it's required!

Ok.. with the camber bolts, how do you know when they are at a certain degree? and I think I ordered my sway bar from your site, so maybe I'll try to get those camber bolts as well..

Should I wait for everything to settle before my alignment?

Your alignment guy can install the camber bolts and set them to your requested spec. while also correcting the toe change caused by lowering the car. You may want to also specify a specific toe setting. Perhaps zero.

Welcome to the forums - great mods so far!

Definitely get an alignment after the springs settle in a couple weeks. And get us a couple pics. :)

I wish more rims were narrow like these. Maybe after the wide wheel/hellaflush thing is over, more manufacturers will make more narrow wheels with higher offsets.

Something about the back looks funny to me. It might just be the angle though.

Dig the rims man
