I agree with the sticker comment. I have stickers, but only put them on my rear window. Keep them in one place. I prefer the clean look. Shaved emblems, rear wiper, cleared headlights. I would shave my door handles and license plate holder and mold my lip kit (stock), but I'm a poor college student.

looks good. it would look 100 times better if the back wheels had the right camber. why did you intentionally do that? that's not very safe for handeling especially when your tires blow out \.
be careful!

that's just what happens when you drop a car with IRS to the ground. when he fills his bags to drive, his wheels will be straight.
to me, the XB would be pimp on airbags - but trying to copy the airbag look at driving height is uncool.

the OTG (one ton garage) camber shims on bb05s ride provide precise toe-in correction. negative camber can assist in cornering, providing more of the surface of the tire under a cornering load. have to ask somebody else about the exact effect with this car, springs, etc, but with proper toe correction, the tire wear is only slightly more than normal (0) camber.

I agree with you on the cornering, but this isn't a racecar driven on a track.
in either case, you only want the camber adjusted negativeif you have IRS. (like the TC) the xa and xb have no IRS so the thires stay flat on the ground even in corners. That is, unless you lift off the ground! woo that would be fun in the xb!

yea im not to worried about takin corners like spped racer. thats why i got the box in the first place.....to cruise, or to stop getting tickets haha. but when i am takin a curve on the freeway or on the street it sticks to the ground. but im not willing to push it to the limit cuz i dont want it to flip over.
