Love everything but the silly rear camber, you worry about mpg but not tire wear?

and from this angle, you can almost smell the cooked rice!! Soon I will replace all the nismo badges with GT-R badges to further complete my rice look!!!
Love the car!

The camber is perfect, the camera used has a flare on the lens, that makes the car look distorted

Ya, the DIY is in the appropriate section on this forum. Not hard, just time consuming as hell
