Not feeling the severe rear camber. Looks like something is broken. Other than that, the car looks good and the pics are nice.

Sir I think your car is broken.




I get form over function but that form isn't appealing to me.

Your car looks nice and clean,exception being the excessive camber.

A member at our local car meet was stopped by the cops,issued a fix it ticket and had his plates seized for having excessive camber.

Dang you cambered out son! I love the stance and I think it looks sick. I personally wouldn't do it on mine. It's your car though, you can do whatever you like with it.

I like the overall look. I dont care for the camber being that extreme. Only thing that matters though is if you like it.

Is excessive camber potentially a safety issue? If not that cop is a POS.

Thanks for all the comments....I also want to thank AcuraZine and all you guys/gals who is willing to put their information online so that people like me can have a starting point and all the inspirations as well!! I know this set up isn't for everyone, but I wanted to see what the max this car can do (with full camber kit all around)

if there is front control arms available, I would probably push the front even more for the Oni Camber Look.

i'm current running on -3.9 camber in front, and -7.1 camber in rear.

20x10 (+20mm) and 20x10(+40mm + 20mm spacer) = +20mm all around.

Looked uped "Oni Camber Look", came to the conclusion that if cars could be mentally handicapped, that's what they'd look like.

Just curious, but is there any purpose to that type of extreme camber or is it just for looks? I don't imagine that can be very good on tire wear either.....

Purely looks. All aesthetics. It's all about the stance. It started in Japan and trickled to Europe and now North America.

Seriously through, a little negative camber can help with handling but not -7.1 . I seen a Infinity a little while back on the freeway and he had even more negative camber all around. It didn't look to good and totally unsafe.

Maybe me, but I love the look of everything except the extreme camber, at first glance it looks like a car with broken ball joints showing my age ;-)

I googled "Oni Camber Look". Looks like something heavy fell on top of the car and the wheels just gave in. It's definetly not for performance and if it's for the looks, I think it looks ridiculous. To each their own I guess.

For some peaople this looks beautiful:

I can't bring myself to like the negative camber look, even just slight neg camber has me SMH. As others have said though as long as you like it that's all that matters.

I do like the wheels though and the pics are amazing.

I am like that too.. I see a lot of cars running around withthe rear wheels in a negative camber.. makes me cringe.
