Looks good, man...saw it on FB, didn't realize it was you.
$100 wasted or $250 for it to be installed perfectly...fk that, leave it to the pros. It's like window tinting, I'm sure I'm capable...but for $100 why not leave it to someone that's already fked up a billion other times and can now get it right right away.

You do have a point, its prolly easier just to get it done by the ppl that do it everyday for a living. Looks good man! your car just looks perfect to me!

My garage is dirty and unorganized, I believe you're thinking about Rogers garage where we installed Tyler's coilivers

Probably a combination of both. What were the specs after your last alignment? I have a ton of camber but 0 toe.

Just keep an eye on it. The rest of the tire looks to be in pretty good shape so I'm surprised to see that kind of wear already. How miles do you have on those tires?

I get that same tire wear and my wheel sits similar to yours.
I'm on A-Spec suspension and last alignment was October 2011.

Didnt think I'd need a camber kit or anything but ill get my alignment checked first.
