What Terra just said is probably the best advice you could be given. You should be thanking him and then actually listen to the suggestions.

I guess expecting advice, suggestions, and opinions on a forum is just so crazy.

No harm, no foul, I'd say. He went about giving the advice in a very slightly crude manner, but nonetheless was trying to be helpful; and at the same time, if the guy loves his car as it sits, then he loves it and that's totally fine. That's the key. Different strokes for different folks.

That being said, I think it's a sharp looking car. Not exactly fit to my taste, but there's been some love put into that car, and I respect that.

...he says to the person that doesn't have Varstoen. LOL. Well played sir. Well played.

And the "advice" was more of a facetious list of suggestions. But, I guess that's cool.

Last time I checked I didn't see that it was your car. It's HIS car. Not everyone mods their car to the same style and if you can't respect that you should probably get out of the car game now or else you're going to be butt hurt all the time.

hate? Please read my sig line, it applies to you.

Reasons to do what i mention.
1. Proper height tires, speedo will read correctly.
2. slightly higher ride height when the suspension is adjusted to the new tires.
3. With the higher height, you will gain ground clearance, making the car more drivable.
4. Less camber wear to tires.
5. Will have more suspension travel for a smoother ride, also safer for everyone out on the road.
6. Camber back to a reasonable area, more contact patch, making the car safer to drive and safer for everyone that shares the roadway.

I will leave it at that, I could probably come up with a few more. So what benifits are there to leaving it at the level it is now? It looks like an idiot picked the wrong offset wheels, and 2 year old set the suspension and the car is unsafe to the others around it.

He never asked for any of your advice. All the guy did was post a picture of his car with Varstoen wheels in a Vars thread and you ride in here like a douche on a high horse. You could have just not posted any thing at all if you don't like the car since no implicit request for advice or opinions were asked for.

The only thing more annoying than "hella flush" is *** bags posting **** like this every time about it.

The owner clearly does not care about any of the things you posted I'm guessing or he wouldn't have a set up like that. So you can save your "advice".

Also camber hardly affects wear on tires, toe does. It will just make it wear on one edge of the tire.

I'd still consider that affecting the wear, but I digress
