^^^ those peeps have the spacers shims, i want the camber one's.

the spacer one's just get the front wheels and the rear wheels flush.

the camber shims, tilt your wheels at the top

wow onetongarage.com's price is a little on the high side but i have to say the quality looks top notch - hhhmmm.....

now the true question is : lets say you had to pick one thing or the other camber shim kit or put the money towards some sticky tires what would you go for?

i imagine that the sticker tires would make a bigger difference per formance wise huh?

well il probably end up getting both - shims first that way i knock out the suspension in one tear down - damn i hate my scion xb and then again i love it , then i hate it cuz i cant stop modding it , then i love it cuz it makes me happy DAMN YOU SCION !!!
