Drop = great stance = tires lasting only 15K miles = very expensive deal LOL
Camber kit = bye bye stance = tires lasting 35-40K miles

been there done that LOL....get your toe in spec and get an alignment every 5K miles (Firestone Lifetime alignment FTW) and see ur tires lasting you super long.....

Disagree...you can get your camber pretty close to straight with a fender roll AND be pretty flush...super close, but flush.

But yeah, TOE is it, camber is nothing in comparison to toe...tires should last 20K IMO...low pros at least.

^^^ thats what i meant.....when you get a camber kit and adjust the Toe, you loose the stance but your tires will last you longer

What's Mike's last name!?

No Swoosh, I got that, but you're saying it's impossible to get stance without the negative camber and I disagree!

I took almost 150 pictures

I'm just picky about which ones I post. Not because I don't want to share, but because I want them to be perfect and a lot of them are not

Ha ha...
Ok, if you say so Anil...that's like saying I'm getting confused between tylenol and advil.

But sure, why not...I DO agree with you about the fact that the more negative camber you run, the more you're able run more aggressive offsets etc. What about when you pass the fender though...is that still flush? or stance?

this is flush...can be brought about by the use of drop + spacers....even after a camber kit....



now this is stance....you need a drop + spacers....but once you run a camber kit and have your camber near 0....you cant get this stance....i was running a negative camber until i got the camber kit and brought camber + toe in spec....

Ha ha, I didn't start a gdamn thing! You know me better than that!

The first picture is a tomato...vine ripe. The 2nd picture is a Roma Tomato! So there...that's MY interpretation.

PS, saw a new Camaro with your vossens on 22's today...lookd DAMN good. Funny those body styles can pull off a 22 without a problem.

It would be wise of them to make a shoot with you, but I don't know how they set it up. Gotta rep the 3G man, Vossen site is all about the 8th Gen accord!

The way they set up my shoot was, a vossen member (former AZ member) told Mike that my car was worthy of there site. Mike was sent a couple pics of my car and the next day he contacted me and also contacted his photography guy to set up the shoot. A week later Mathew (vossen photo guy) called me for the location. The rest is shown on the site... I was fortunate to have my car featured on the websites main page and they are using my pic as there main Facebook profile picture.

Give mike sometime and I'll send him an email. I've met him a couple times when I have to go to shows to represent Vossen. He is a real cool guy but really busy. Lol

THOSE people know about marketing, that's for sure. The day I was put on the iputinwork website was nearly the best day of my life. True story.

I don't think you were being mean at all... Lol I was just explaining how they set it up. Yeah Matt's in Texas right now doing 8 shoots... I hope I get to go with him on your shoot (he has been wanting to use a couple lenses I have) and see your car in person!!
