To the other poster i do agree that everyone has a different taste, but i just don't understand what you are accomplishing out of this set up? It can't be good on your axles, you are loosing braking distance, tire wear must just be stupid, and you have a huge lose of traction.
I don't see how you don't understand what we try to accomplish. I just said it's a matter of taste, meaning we like the way it looks and makes the car look.

As for losing breaking distance, I haven't really done any testing on that, but I haven't had problems..tire wear...well having a stretched tire doesn't mean you'll have tire wear. That depends on the amount of camber you're running and your toe. Primarily the toe. Even if you run negative cambenr to where the outer tire doesn't wear out at all but the inner does, you can flip the tires and have a practically new tire. Again, it's the toe that will wear out your tires quicker than anything.

Picture it like this, you get cut by a razor, the razor is the toe. If your toe is off that razor is going to cut you in the same spot over and over, imagine how much damage that is..now say you get that fixed, but you have camber, that camber is like someone poking at the cut. It doesn't cause near the same damage.

Traction is lost, but really, ask anyone here if the track their car, drift it, etc...when it comes to daily driving, what more traction do you need than the car being able to drive straight and make turns. In fact, a stretched tire is beneficial. With a stiffer sidewall and some negative camber, when cornering, you have more of the wheel planted on the ground.

so what if we can't fit a tire in there? its not as its just blindly stretching a tire and making it fit, its a lot more work than that

i would really suggest reading further back in this thread, i know its long but this topic has been beaten to death

I had never seen a VW Caddy or a Datsun truck till this thread...and that black one, wow. I just love how it looks. The grill looks so sick with the round double headlights on each side. Body lines are magnificent as well.

You drive an AUTOTRAGIC and you're mods are generic BS mods that ALL G's get.
You also have no respect or understanding for this style of modding, so just take your plain *** car, along with your idiotic logics and
GTFO
