Yeah I know where it is.. Just didn't know they had drive in alignment.. I'm THERE!!! Now to figure out what to do about all this rubbing.. JEEZE.. I think fender liners have to go bye bye.. And I need more roll in the rear.. Cuz MAN!!!

Had to use a piece of wood to get into the garage today.. Scraped getting into the garage.. Not into the driveway, that was fine.. I have a bump to get into the garage, and it's 6cm, I couldn't clear it.. LMAO.. Undercarraige scrapped, and then i would have just LOST my midpipe, so I put some wood right before my rear wheel to lift it up so I could get into the garage..

Oh... the wonderful problems I'm about to experience driving a lowered car.. bwahahahahahahahahaha..


This is what she looks like now.. 3.5" from the ground in the front..

Thought that the camber arms allow you to recover some positive camber or get to spec if you can't w/ a severe drop.. I'm not really that low actually, I'm to the first line of the sidewalls of my tires.. Just so that you can't see the treads.. I went down the 2nd line originally, and couldn't turn the freaking wheel.. LOL!!! I gave myself a nice fender pull on the passenger side w/ the fender sitting on the tire. Had to push that back in and raise it up a little..

I was going to throw the rear camber arms on as well, even got the toe bolts (also why I didn't drop this much till this weekend) but thought about it, and I don't have any positive camber to recover in the rear at ALL.. I'm too flush.. That's why I'm rubbing so much everywhere, too flush but don't have any space for my tires to travel..

I've been told the only thing I can really do is lose the spacers, but I REFUSE!!! I love the way it looks too much..

You really think I'mma start eating through tires like crazy now? Dang.. I thought w/ a proper alignment I could avoid that. I mean I have some negative camber (visible w/ just the eye) but it's not obtrusive by any means.. Our cars come stock w/ negative camber right?

I totally agree.. I've already got that in R1's queue on the todo list for Mysti..

Noper.. I don't have positive camber to recover, nor do I want to add more negative camber.. I'm going to try to get my alignment done and see if they can get me back to stock alignment w/ the OEM arms.. If not, THEN I'll get front arms..

I see fender flare in your near future if you insist on keeping the spacers.

when you get an alignment - they are going to tell you that they cant get the front back into spec. With that being sed - just see how much you are off and then swap tires (left to right and vice versa) when necessary. The rear you wont have to worry about as much..

oh and start looking for some front camber arms - you wont regret it....I promise....
