Yeah, the tanabe doesn't have any body rolling. I sat in my friend's car which confirmed myself.

But I am not going to waste the Tein basic, I am just going to add the Tanabe sway bar to eliminate the body rolling.

I think that will help..don't you think?

Bump it Up!!

So I installed the GF210's this past weekend. Went to get an alignment and they got the front wheels looking good and within spec (camber, toe). The rear wheels, however, they were not able to remove enough of the camber and there is a definite negative camber on both sides.

I like the fact that it would help on the track, but this car is my DD and was wondering what type of aftermarket things they make to correct this problem (too much negative camber). I know I've read something about this on the forum, but it was before I was experiencing this problem and don't even know what to search for.

Thanks

I don't have the printout in front of me but from what I can recollect, the driver-side rear was -1.3 and passenger rear was -1.9 with a cross camber of 0.6. These were the limits of the stock camber adjustments.

The specs are within what many people here are currently running. I just don't want to be buying new tires every 6 months because the inner tire gets too worn.

It seems to drive well. I am a little worried how it will handle in wet or rainy conditions. Cornering is definitely awesome. Dragon, here I come!

I will take some pictures over lunch and post them.

Nice Rims! I really like the blue lip. I never noticed that they were that deep from your other pictures.

^Thanks man. Yeah its like a 3" & 1/2" lip
Trust me you wont be going through Tires every 6 months (Your not driving a 911 S4 lol). If you want more info on camber and track camber talk to the guys in the Racing section

But if you want something for the Dragon, Get some Yoko Advan S Tires. So far they are the fastest Tires on Earth and grip like your driving on fire
