I still can't believe people are PAYING to make their car look like the wheels are going to fall off... What's funny was back in the day people used to pay money to CORRECT camber issues from lowering a vehicle... Camber to me looks like a $hitty lowering job... this is MY opinion, however, and what people want to do to their cars is entirely up to them.

Believe it or not, those cars have the SAME bodykit, to whomever wrote that. I have that much camber on the back and for as little I drive the car, I tore the tires up. Oh well, I'll change it back soon anyway. Hopefully, I'll some good camber on the front too, as I am still awaiting my front camber plates I ordered a month ago thanks to a goofup at shipping. doing straight camber on the back of the A's and B's not lowered doesn't change the toe if at all. It's when the car gets lowered and the axle gets a forward tilt to it, you get toe in with camber. It's just geometry.

Are you saying that the airbag controller somehow also changes the camber based on ride height? Now that WOULD be trick!

Dumba$$.
go look at an suv on bags and see what happens....
You have GOT to be kidding me! You obviously don't know a whole lot about suspension, airbags, or what vehicles are equipped with what.

Why don't YOU go take a look at a bagged SUV. Most propper SUVs (Truck based, body on frame) have traditional, solid, straight axles in the rear. Especially if you are talking about domestics. (The majority of bagged SUVs in the U.S. are doemstic.)

Just like with the xA and xB the only time you are going to see negative camber in the rear of a bagged SUV is when they have swapped out for an independent rear suspension. And most of the time someone does that they do everything they can to PREVENT excessive negative camber.

Like it was said before... Quit trying to back pedal and make excuses. You were wrong. Live up to it like a man. Quit trying to defend comments, only to make yourself look more foolish.
