Cool deal! Really need a set here. Bout to order the camber bolts for the front to get me a little up there too, and I figure the -3 in the rear should set it off nicely.
I must be too old to get these seemingly retarded excessive negative camber/poke/tuck/hellaflush wheel things. It all looks like ____ to me. Is the goal to wear out your tires as quickly as possible? The rest of the car looks great. Just get some wheels and tires that fit properly and a good alignment. ;-)
Gee... thanks for the advice. I guess ill call you next time before I think of doing something to my car...
just because you say that 90% of my car looks good and the other 10% looks like ____ am I not supposed to take that as an insult?

^^^Oh lord, here we go......
Actually never mind...I had typed up this long debate, but screw it...no need to get in an e-debate with a stranger.
Pasquale keep doing what your doing and let us know about the camber ASAP!...

I dont think its as dangerous as you think it is though. I've taken every precaution to make sure that what im doing is safe. I built my own suspesnion so I know what it can and cant do along with parts that are rated far above what they're actually being used for. I used grade 911 bolts for everything I even made my own brackets out of billet aluminum. My car isn't fast and I font drive it like a race car... so I think me losing control on the freeway is just about as dangerous as you losing power on the freeway with your aftermarket turbo.
Couldn't it be argued that a suspension mod is potentially just as dangerous as a engine mad.. But Im sure that you have taken the precautions to make sure you prevent something like that from happening or at least be ready for such and occasion. Should I boost my car? or maybe juice it cuz that never goes wrong, right? So again please keep your left handed apologies to yourself because frankly its more then a little hypocritical for you to be saying anything of the like.
BTW this one is a lot funnier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-BGIcRBPHM

I don't agree that a potential loss of power is as potentially dangerous as a potential loss of vehicle control but we could argue about this for a lot longer than I care to. To each his own. Carry on...

It's all a matter of aesthetic preference. You could consider swapping out a stereo with no steering wheel controls as dangerous. It's all subjective.
I dig the style, and keep doing what you're doing! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little jealous!!!
I just dropped $650 for tires and I don't want to be doing that again for a while. No camber for me unless I get some smaller wheels and cheap-o tires!!!

Yeah no kidding it was around 800 for my tires but I got falkens 452's which as supposed to take -3 camber pretty well and that really seems to be the case. I have 3k miles on the new tires and they still look like the day I mounted them.
