i noticed in both pics your camber looks kinda funny or it may be my eyes are f'ed up?? your rear looks negative while your front is positive(do you get outside wear on them)??? I would say lower the front .5" and get some bolts & washers for the rear and rig a custom camber kit..

its the stock black with the red perl shavings...
and to address the camber.... no. i barelly have any camber problems its almost perfect fron at back..
when i bought the car and lowered it... the camber sat at:
front left: -3.76
front right: -3.16
rear left: -1.12
rear right: -1.66

now i just added a camber kit up front making the the camber in the -1's. i don't have the numbers for those in front of me. i could find them...
think thats everything.

Except handling, gas mileage, tyre wear, and overall ride.

leave it, it looks good.

handles fine , i dunno about gas mileage . i dont understand how ride hieght can affect that , tire wear? thats what camber kits are for, over all ride? it can ride just as good as if it were higher.

Leave it alone! Don't lower it anymore. I see that you live in Canada. Most of those people telling you to "slam" it probably live in cali or someplace with nice roads. They don't realize that canadian roads suck ***. Where in .ca are you from?

Anyway, I think your car looks good just the way it is.

Another typical responce from someone in cali.

Slamming the **** out of it means the following things:
- possible rubbing
- bottoming out
- bad tire wear
- crappy ride
- more heat from the cops.
- having to damn near fall out of your car to get out.

It looks good but I would go lower all the way around. What size are those wheels ?
