WOW simply Amazing, Congrats on such a Clean RS xB. I would love to run an Air Bag Kit some day once money get's better and have my xB be as clean as yours.

my front struts have the camber adjustment slots built in. and Yes Im fully cambered. it does track straight. Ill try to get some pics but Im on my stock wheels now, so you wont be able to see the camber at much.
keep up the good work.

heres the better pics with a clean car, still not cambered













these pics are from the First Hawaiian Auto Show in Honolulu, Hawaii. This is before the show, just during drive-in time to set up the cars. Its a 4 day event and I got lucky enough to roll with the Scion Evolution Hawaii Chapter. If anyones in Hawaii, you should definitely check it out

i kinda got hooked up, it wasnt free but i think i only paid for parts + $50. it came out to $350 and the tips alone are $100 each. Sounds great! had the Borla before and like the sound of this better. i really wanna get headers and then see how this bad boy is gonna sound!!

the exhaust tips look perfect for that rear bumper! The Bomex guys should really follow suit. Nice job! flows real nice. I'm not a huge fan of the wheel but I must say, it does look slick.

PS. Why are you trying to have neg camber? I know you guys are following the whole Bippu styling but traditionally the neg camber is an end result to fit negative offset wheels. I've seen cars that fit fine without camber, try to camber and it looks way off. If' you're going to camber then get some more aggressive wheels where you'd need the extra camber. Just my .02 cents.

Exhaust is sik, is it completely custom (tips, etc.) it looks really good w/ the 5-Axis, nice VIP look too.

i know exactly what u mean, for me the only reason is so i can get my front end to go down just another quarter inch or so. it definitely wont be drastic at all though, maybe only 2 degrees or 3. thanks for the input and i agree, i need more aggressive wheels!!!

itll work for sure. im runnin 20x8.5 all the way around. theres a few different kits and everyone has their own OPINION as to which kit is the best. . . all i will say is i have air runner, it cost 3 grand, its a very good quality ride, i love my setup. oh and i will also say the install is just as important if not more important than the kit you buy. get installed properly by someone who really knows what theyre doing and u will be very happy with your setup

Looking good AnDrew!!!

Can we tag this as Eight08customs Built Ride!

Your ride came along way from when we first met up.. very simple Clean build, but to the point!

The Five Axis Lip Kit on the RS took it to a whole new level. I myself didnt car for the Kenstyle kit.

Now its my turn to to you!
