Don't go the ghetto route and cut your springs. Spend a couple bucks and do the job right. Just because its free doesn't mean you should do it.

The camber on his front of the rx8 is just horrible, or is that just somehow from the angle that picture was taken at? The blue cars fronts look a bit tilted but the rx8 is bad.
