actually no camber kit, i sent it to a place that does work on aligning off road vehicles, they do some special bending and fabricating to get it ideal.

You rub alot with that setup, on the ground or in tire wells? I think it might be a little too low for me, but it looks hot as hell. What's the actual drop in the 3.0?

It went down pretty close to 3" after thing settled.
Only time I rub is when cornering hard and from what i've inspected it's only hitting the fender liner. But it's definatly low, it's about 4" from the ground at the lowest spot.
This setup is not ideal for handling, I much prefered the handling characteristics of the pro-kit over this. It's just not stiff enough for a 3.0 that's this low.

and I agree, the drop looks so fuckin clean 
I love it. Makes up for it being such a pain to drive sometimes. But also being a pain to drive has prevented me from getting a ticket in a long time (almost got a clean record again baby 
)

SHIT YOU ARE LOW! Is that what the sportlines drop at, or did u lower it in any other way with like adjustable perch? What size tires do you have? I do like the handling on my pro kit, i do wish it was firmer sometimes though...it just isn't low enough for me in the front!

Yea, i wished the prokit was firmer too. But it was still a blast. The pro-kit would be perfect w/ some sways and new bushings. But it still wouldn't be low enough for me.

I like the way the wheels looks with that color, I would love to get either bronze or gunmetal wheels- just dont want to spend the money right now.

for a couple of reasons KC. First off, everyone and their mother has clear corners on anything possible out here. I'm literally serious you see grandmas in tegs and cords w/ clear corners. So they are really played out.
second, the orange really brings out the color of the rims and blends it all together. Gives it that jdm looks
third, pointless mod to me, that's not what i'm about.

I also agree that it does bring out certain aspects of your car. Yours seems to be one of the few cars that I think looks good with the sotck lenses.
In the end it is all about what you want, if you like it cool. But if you ever put on vinyl dragon stickers, I am going to have to come looking for you

never went to the track, but the car saw ALOT of nights at the street races out here. Quickest car I bet was a high 13 second GSX, quickest car I held up w/ was a ls1 z28 (both of these were w/ 100 shot pills in). I'd say w/ the 75-100 shot it's a high 13 very low 14 second car. But it never did make it to the track, maybe one of these days i'll find out.

lol in traffic the other day, i actually did see a white CL..holy sheet..damn, that bitch was slammed and the driver wasn't bad either...i kinda hit the brakes as i passed..looked the car over, looked the driver over...and reluctantly kept driving..wishing i could have gotten over into his lane

i can understand it...cars are very special things for some girls, me included, and they can have a very "weird" effect on our actions...like making me wish i could cross a lane of traffic just to catch up w/ the guy in that white CL...for no other reason than to get a better look at his car...and maybe him
...but move out to cali? nah...you aint got anything to worry about there...
