Does anyone know if tire wear for camber is compensated by adding more positive toe? Basically bringing the toe inwards? I went to go get an alignment today on one of those awesome hawks platforms. But since I was running around -3.6 camber the guy said that they compensate tire wear by adding more positive toe. Now my wheels are facing inward and it just doesnt feel right. I always though that you're toe should be as close to zero to minimize the tires going against the road?

here's a picture of the rack!

hmm, yeah I thought so, Imma take it back and see what they can do, otherwise Ill have to either adjust it myself or pay to have it done again =/

I let it slide just because i really saved a lot of trouble going there and not having to worry about taking off my bumper ora setting up a rack to get it up haha.

Looks like the place has a lot of tires. I'm wondering if they told you that you needed positive toe to make you a repeat customer!

you probably need to take out the plastic fender liner in the front. the screws that hold it on probably rubbed on your tire, thus the flat. go check that.

Do not do 45 series tires, they look so ugly if you don't do an extreme stretch. I also feel you should add some spacers on your current setup, was looking at your pics and was like it would be the **** if you add some spacers to fill in the gaps.. Just my opinion..

yezz sir, keeping the same face color. i want to do the same setup like the green s2k but still deciding if i should do chrome lip or polish lip but will most likely do the black rivets.

thank you, love your car also. how is it riding with 19's on this lip kit. i might try to pick up a set of aggressive 19's just for fun. after looking at the pictures, the 20's actually make my car look high
