I honestly didn't know until this thread that the negative camber is on purpose. I always thought is was just a side affect of sloppy lowering. Wouldn't it be cooler to have your car just as low with proper camber? It would take a lot of fabrication but... "If something is worth doing, it's worth doing right."

Have I become old and out of touch at 29?

Not everyone its on this style and has no go.
YOu do know that when you raise your car 2 inches to a good ride height your toe/camber also drastically changes. So in order to actually run your car at a proper height you will need to completely re align the car.

Do you know how EASY it is to do an alignment yourself in your garage?

Digital level and you can set your camber. You can do your Toe with a tape measure.. Also, you can mark your cam bolts, or adjustable links lengths and you literally just have to turn it to the mark and be done with it.

Dude, You talking to Litoflow here not a freaking noob! i do my alignments before and after drift events...you can easily find alignment shops that give you discounts/1 year or lifetime fixed rates where you pay once and you good to go or you can do them yourself.

Front toe seems to be the only one that is a pain. My last set of front street tires got almost 30k out of them, not somthing you can easily do with a garage floor alignment. The rear is easy to set up.

I make suspension adjustments all the time at the track.

I do agree with you. The fronts are a pain. Rears are easy.

If you wanted to ruin your vehicles you could have ran over some trash cans & pedestrians instead of wasting your time by slamming your cars. It's a lot easier & more fun.

Just a helpful suggestion.
