camber kit???? if you do get a camber kit... it looks like you may have to roll your fenders in so your tires wont rub against them

i was going to say. to not rub, you need to run 30 or at the most 35 series. 40 must sound .

looks tight, but with that drop, say goodbye to the axles, ball joints and possibly your driveshaft, first things to go with that much drop.

Rolling high, what chu talking about, I used to be tucking front and rears on TEIN SS, I swapped that shit out for some regular springs, ride was too damn ruff.
Yeah, My ball joints went, and the camber was increased the wrong way, then my axle went and my car had to be towed.
You say you'll just replace it and all, but its not always smooth as pie, you'll probably start to get an annoying little creak or noise that can't be found, and it'll make you lose your mind if your like me.

I agree with Ron on this one. I just can't fathom having my CL feel like I'm driving a sport compact. I'm sure it's a bumpy ass ride with it slammed that much, right? How do you even start to nogotiate speed bumps and drive ways?

i've been on TEIN SS for a few years, and i love the ride. it's not too stiff and it's not too soft. if you think the TEIN SS on hardest setting is stiff, you obviously have never been in a car with real coilovers.
