if you post a car with a weak drop and offset everyone is thinking the same thing but only a few will post.

I totally agree with Nexx. -2.5 is what i want to set it to. I have about -3.2 or -3.5 in the rear right now and I don't like it, but there is nothing I can do right this very second. I got the eibach toe bolts waiting to be installed and everything realigned again. I have about -2.5 camber on the front, which is perfect in my eyes. Anyway, I'll get it set up properly, hopefully this wekeend.

Robert K, you're exaggerating it more than needed. As I said before, I admit -3.5 camber is a bit too much (at least for the street), and I am going to adjust it to -2.5. If you're going to say -2.5 is too much also, then I've got nothing to say to you. That's the best camber setting, hands down. When the wheels are straight, no camber, the car just doesn't look mean enough, as SIN said. Every time I see a car passing by with some camber, it's just the best thing out there. It makes any car look wider. When you have your wheels straight like yours, they really do this / / when you take a turn, so you actually get less traction as opposed to a / \ setup (and that's a fact you can't argue). And on top of that, it looks like a** with no camber. I've seen same exact wheels as mine on Z's and but with no camber, and it just looks too mellow, too ordinary. Now, in a straight line there is no question your setup will get more traction. But after all, these are falken 452 tires. If I really wanted traction, would I ever get cheap falken tires? I'd get some michelin ps2 in 265/295. I'd still run spacers, but only 5mm. This should clear things up...

1) weak offsets
2) no camber
no camber=great for redneck racing, and crap for anything that turns...shoulda bought a mustang or camaro for that then.
