Default CAMBER? WHATS THAT?

i just installed my -3 camber shimms on saturday and was finally able to ajust my suspension down without rubbing.
all went very well with no issues.

CHECK IT OUT






im still going to lower it a bit more all the way around, im just waiting to see how everything is when if got a few people in the car and a full tank of gas.
i still might roll the fenders too, im just not sure yet.

i love the Tein SS-P coilovers.
worth every penny!

i did the -3 camber because when i first got my wheels i was rubbin so bad i saw smoke coming from my wheel wells.
i only drove it like that for 2 blocks, so it didn't realy hurt my tires.
i had to ajust the coilovers up in the back untill i was able to get the camber.
so i did it for function, not to much for the looks.........well i take that back, camber = sexy

Haven't seen anything unusual yet. From what I hear, it takes a year to really begin to notice it.
