The rears could use another 5mm or so since the fronts sit a little farther out. Also going to raise it another half inch or so, right now hard cornering causes rubbing. End goal is cutting out he wheel wells and fabricating some mild flares. I need to find some foam and start sculpting but I've been so busy I havent had time.

Couple more photos from Boost 4 Boobies event at Modern Automotive Performance this weekend.

lol yes I know thats unheard of around here! Guess it depends on how well the fronts pull and clear. Its sitting at the height I want when I get flares made, but for now I wont be able to run on the track at this height without issues when cornering.

I am actually trying to get away from too much neg camber. Getting back to function and less form. And running a R compound tire.

its already sitting at around -1.7ish in the front. I can get it back to I think -1 without shims IIRC. I have a camber gauge for the track so I can set it to whatever I need on track days and then back for street use so I dont burn up tires as much.

haha I had a low cambered setup last year and drove it all the time. I had -3ish rear and -2ish front on 20s stretched. It was fun and got a lot of attention but I miss the track and performance.
