Do you have/need a camber kit?

And man, the ATLP race pipe is such a ripoff. Sell that to fund your Aspec front lip... then go to your local shop and get some 304 SS straight pipe OR buy the Jshift one. Much cheaper and better quality.

the rear camber isnt bad, but the front will probably kill my tires soon. i actually got a good deal on the race pipe since i picked it up from mike (aznbo187) front a-spec is coming soon, still debating, it would mean i'd have to raise the front a bit, speed bumps at skool FLT!

$125 for a steel pipe is a lot... regardless. $40/ft (not wholesale price) for 304 SS. Weld some flanges and call it a day.

Anyway, how many inches would you say you're dropped? Sorry I don't have coilovers so "4 threads" doesn't translate to anything for me. I'm asking because I'm planning on investing is coilovers and just want to make sure I have all my bases covered. I definitely don't want premature wear on my tires if it can be avoided.
