Don't take what I said the wrong way man. In all honesty, I do love your car. I wasn't trying to be facetious in my response. And that's why I don't like the internet cuz tone can be misconstrued.
That said, pics look like your tucking tire/rim which is not what goes on in here.
As to my pics, I DO post pics. I done't post pics in HERE cuz my wheels aren't done so the only thread similar to this that my car would fit in is a slammed/low/etc...thread. However, when they do get done, I will offer up my pile for criticism like everyone else.
Again, Dex, I love your car. It looks functionally fun if that makes sense. So, don't get all bent cuz I questioned.. No hard feelings.

I just get tired of seeing people hating, especially when I have to scroll through pages of it to get to more pictures haha

I ride on Zeal function X 16/16kg around 2/3 full stiff, no rubbing.
It's a Mine's 06+ ... does look similar to the veilside one tho!
Sorry don't post em anymore since the car has been posted so often on here.
F: 18x11 -4 | 245/35 | -4 camber
R: 18x12 -3 | 275/35 | -3 camber
Follow me on instagram or photobucket @D33SAN

Done rear quarter work to run so little camber on the rear? Beside the typical roll and pull?

Here's the fitment so far. Trying to find upper control arms. If anyone is selling some! Ill be in Atlanta this weekend for FD so if anyone close has some I can pick some up haha. Or pick some up on the way from south Florida.
sometimes I feel like making changes but in the end the car is just as I wanted it in the first place and for me.. it's simply perfect as it currently sits.I guess performance is next on the list, nothing crazy like what you're doing but maybe at least turbo it!
thanks mate! Simple roll + pull with a fender roller tool and nothing major tbh. All fenders were re-painted though. Most ppl in here run more aggressive rear setups than me, that might be why you are under the impression I run more conservative camber.
New look, was outta the game from Dec to April waiting for my new wheels to come in. Ditched my old powder coated metallic orange Volk GTS. Ditched the ings side skirts cause they were destroyed. Also ditched the ings front lip and oem bumper in favor of amuse replica. Wanted a whole new look. Overall I am happy, oem sides and amuse bumper have more clearance for daily driving. My car was ****ed up before and I got sick of it looking like ***.
Work Durandal DD5.2 in Calm Cut Silver Clear finish in conservative fitment.
19x10 -5
19x11 -6
Ksport 15"/380mm front and 14"/356mm BBK coming in about a month.

Hey man, I'm going to be in Atlanta this weekend for Formula Drift as well. PM me and we can meet up. I don't mind giving you tips on how I got my wheels to fit if you need some help, or have any questions!
Thanks. Hoping to find a mastergrade rear diffuser like I had on my old Z.
Thanks man. I didn't want to go too aggressive and have to run lots of camber or fawk up my fenders. Mildly aggressive is good enough for me, especially when driving 70 miles a day at least.
147mm rear so almost 5.8"
110mm front = 4.3"
R disk front so sacrificed lip size for BBK clearance.

From most recent feature. Interior doesn't look like this anymore other than the re-wrapped Vinyl oem seats, I now have carbon dynoc wrapped center, nrg nechrome 2.8 quick release, black suede with red stitching nrg steering wheel, black suede with red stitching shifter boot and Ribbit neo chrome ball shift **** so it looks a little different.
As for the diffuser its an RE-Amemiya replica i had to hack into like 4 pieces and put back together to make fit in other words its an FD diffuser
Took these a little less than a week ago for Varrstoen. Nothing different just newer pics. I cant wait to get a new set of wheels I'm so bored of these already. Im ready for some massive lippage
