good... so either way having the FRONT CAMBER KIT is always a good thing....

so is it possible to avoid buying 10-15mm spacers up front if i have the Front Camber Kit to adjust poke? I will be running 19x9.5+22 on 235/35 up front btw..

Yup its at least -3 up front. I'm lowered 3.5" up front and have -3 camber with stock A arms.

9.5+22 needs a 10mm spacer with a 235/35. You'd have to dial in 2 degrees of positive camber to achieve a similar level of "flushness". You'd have almost no negative camber up front and it would look odd.

I just recall I was at -2.4 when I had the KuRookie and I can't recall which wheels. I think before the Varianzas and I wasn't as low as you are now at that time. After that I didn't care what the camber was lol. Had to get it done by hand anyway.

OK, so since we're on the subject of low cars, camber arms, etc. Marcus, where do you take your car for alignment? Is it next to City Tires? If so, how much do they charge? I can't recall. If not, where do you go and how much do they charge?

So who is/has the most aggressive static sedan out there? So far I was guessing Stimulation based on the many pages that I searched through is this thread.

I do take it to the place adjacent to City Tire. IIRC they charged me around $80 for an alignment. I know it wasn't more than $100. The only thing I don't like about that place is the guy who does the alignments takes it for a test drive before and after to make sure its setup ok. It freaked me out because I had no idea he was going to drive my car. With it being as low as it is no one ever drives it but me. When I go back next time I'm gonna see if he can not take the test drive. He scraped the underside of my bumper last time and I'm lower now LOL.

Correct, Levon has the most aggressive static setup we've seen on a Sedan.

Wow, shoulda asked you first. Guess I did remember correctly. Thought it was close to, but not exceeding $100. Kinda don't wanna pay that much, but it's the cost of being low. Unless I go to Alex Pfeiffer since he charges the same, I just don't know where he is haha.

I'm unsure about now, but as Marcus mentioned when I had wheels, I did have the most aggressive setup. Started it off with a 20x9.5 +3 (added a 15mm spacer a week later) and 20x10.5+0. Stepped up to a 20x10.5+0 and 20x11 -12. Test fit (and had more room) 18x10 -6 and 18x12 -7. Then ended up with the 7 series wheels and after adapters the specs were 19x9 -16 and 19x10 -7. After that OEM and then GR8NISS's wheels. I think 19x10.5 and 11.5 +no clue but same offset.

^If you include bagged setups then you might not be the most aggressive Levon, but for static Sedans I don't think anyone has come close.

Curious to know what bagged setup sedans out there that have aggressive setups. To my knowledge Blain has the most aggressive bagged setup?

Is Blain's setup more aggressive than Vivek's was when he had the J-lines with large spacers? Also isn't there a guy in Hawaii with a pretty aggressive bagged setup? He doesn't post much so I can't recall his screen name.

Hmmm...I'll have to look into that. I think Vivek's was something like 20x9 -16. I think. Can't remember the rears. Hawaiian guy, I'm trying to recall his setup.

Ok, found specs of Vivek's setup. 20x8.5 -22 in the front and 20x10.0 -5 in the rear. Fronts were close, but rear no where near.
