Ikr! I was going to try and go with Megan's but had a hard time finding them anywhere. Then i read a few threads on the instal and the fix was "gently hammering area and denting it in" I was like wtf? Nah I'm good on those lol. Yea our engine bay is so cramped. My very first car was a 92' Toyota Camry and the engine bay is freaking huge. Every car I've had after has gotten smaller and smaller

I had those tires on rear before new tires. I got them used for $100. Lasted a very long time especially for used tires.

I put off camber kit. Thought I'd be ok for awhile. Negative lol. I was going through tires like crazy. It's been a cost saver for sure. I want with the SPC camber kit. You can probably get away without it in back but definitely need one in front. I went ahead and hit the bullet and got front and rear

yeah well my tires were definitely in need of a camber kit, I've heard a lot about SPC, is it like a whole kit meaning like it has everything? Here's what my tires looked like

Ah I remember those days haha. Yea it comes with all hardware needed to put on but front and rear are separate. I would say buy the front for sure. The G comes stock with some negative camber so the rear would be ok depending on drop. If you are very low I would get both front and rear. I got front kit first then about 6 months later got rear

I'm dropped on H&R sport or super sports. not quite sure, so it's between 1.5-2.0 inches. front is getting put on for sure, I'm decent with a wrench and all, is the back challenging at all? I feel like the rear would be harder to work on

Nah it's not a hard install at all. There are a few DIY on here but it's pretty straight forward. Obviously you will need an alignment after doing it

the rear is actually way easier and less complicated to do. the front is the harder of the 2 to do. i prefer to pay someone to do the front and i jus do the rears lol

hmmm well I have an alignment plan for the next 3 years so that's not a problem, I'll probably try and install it myself, it shouldn't be too bad

Bought and put on a set of sport wheels with summer tires, drives much better, the thinner profile tire doesn't fill the wheel out very well. It's an excuse to go a bit lower...
