That they do, but I'm getting a set come next season. Probably time to retire these Falken Azenis that are about as old as my Rx8..
Which, despite the crap tires, I can't express the level of fun today, autocrossing her again(Two days in a row, ftw). I'll get the video posted once the results are up.
And she's looking rather sexy Tiltmode.

Sorry for the double post, but got some pics!
Totally have my friend's Miata photobombing in the one pic. Also, I know, a ton of wheelspin/hop in the first video, and a ton of skill to be gained.

^They're what I'm gonna get to replace my Falken Azenis ST115's next season. Apparently they've been due for replacement for quite a while, haha. Heck, even Falken replaced them in their line up..

I have HP+ pads and get that "OH YOU NEED NEW BRAKES" stuff all the time too especially since I street them. If they say it in a condescending manner I just tell them that if they knew **** about cars they'd know what a track compound pad was.

Oh yeah, I did probably at least a dozen 70-5mph stops, with varying amounts of force, then let them cool down, and repeated. I've got more bite than even my ABS knows what to do with, they're just absolutely noisy. I normally only have them on for an extra day or two after each event, so it's normally not bad.
It doesn't bother me that much, especially since I know they're better than pretty much anyone who mentions that statement's brakes. However, I dislike seeing a hot chick, pulling up beside, and her being disgusted from the sound of my brakes, rofl. Suddenly, not many pick up lines can save you.
Ah well, a girlfriend would just cut into my 8's time. Gotta keep the priorities in check.
And honestly, when you install these coils, you'll love them. The difference in the few events I've done before and after them is night and day.

A local member to me was told the same thing by an alignment "specialist" and when he got home he lifted a back corner and was able to adjust the camber himself (needed another alignment after that
)

You're asking in the right place! Be sure to ask the alignment tech for more *positive* camber. It sounds to me that there was confusion, and they were trying to add negative camber, perhaps?

i want the alignment to go close to factory settings but the tech said the they can't add any positive camber.
i know he is fulll of sh*t because our cars have a big range of adjustability and last time i was messing with my camber it was at -2.6 and got it back to factory settings at the same shop but with another tech guy..
