you shouldnt need a camber kit with that drop- you might have a tiny bit of neg camber in the rear but it shouldnt hurt anything if your toe is correct. Car looks good!

I have about 1-2 finger gap. I would like some nice 18" rims, but Im on a budget and am thinking of other mods first. Yuh my rear looks like theres some negative camber, will be looking out for tire wear.

You should just get an alignment, and it should be ok. Hey do you have any shots of your exhaust?

i have a finger gap in the rear and my camber is at -1.. very minimal tire wear and i drive the hell out of it. It is also advantageous for handling to have a little bit of negative camber in the rear (bmw does this stock with their cars)

Its not really a full exhaust system, I just have the Tsudo mufflers off eBay. I posted a video clip in my other thread titled Lip Spoiler. I dont really have any close shots of the mufflers.

Check out my thread in the Black Market. I've got 18" Enkei LM-1 w/ BFG g-force T/A KDW for $900 plus shipping.

These are my first set of aftermarket springs/shocks I ever drove on and Im liking it. The rides a little stiffer than stock, and the drop is great IMO.

Looks great, I needed to see a SSM with the body kit to decide on what type of drop I want. How much are the S-techs? I was thinking of Eibach Pro-kit, but 2.1 is a bit much for me.

I think s.techs are same as Eibach pro-kit (2.1 front/ 1.6 rear)
