As for your tire sizes, i run a 245/35 on a 11.5 with no issues so i would venture to say your 235/35 would be kosher on a 11. I run that on my 10.5 and it's a mild stretch IMHO.
Well...hopefully these last. Kinetix has bee touch and go for some people. I had mine last 2 auto x seasons before the ball joint went on one side. Pic of your stretch?

This is where I sit right now. I need to have more camber in the rear but I am having difficulty with the toe adjustment because of my bags. I want to be able to have my front lower, I'll try to adjust the front and see what happens but I see that maybe the control arm might be hitting something.

Nice, I have my Cusco arms maxed all the way in. I've considered cutting the little inside lip, and drilling two more holes to allow me to go one more notch inwards.

But again, as far as actual degrees, it all dependent on your ride height. I haven't had my car aligned in forever so I have no idea where I'm sitting right now. But here's a recent-ish pic. Will be going lower next month in the rear; taking the helper springs out.

I haven't been on here in a while but I'm running -5 degrees camber up front on the stock arm. Looking for a different UCA that will clear the strut tower being as low as I am in the front.

My bad it's -4 but it's all natural camber from being low I guess. All my bushings are good. I'm also on 18's not 20's.

I believe a bunch of different companies market this bumper, but from my understanding the most popular and one that offers the carbon lip is the Astek bumper

The astek can also come in poly as well. I opted for FRP as i am on air and didn't want to deal with poly.

and to keep the thread on topic a bit
