You said you installed a camber kit from Megan Racing. I was unaware that our cars even needed ones of these, or that one was available. Got a link?

Ty, ty.

Here is a link to the camber kit.

I got the kit because I plan on raising my car up if it snows and I want the rear to be fully adjustable. Plus the megan racing kit is solid and worth it. I would rather spend a little extra to ensure my suspension setup is adaptable to weather changes...and rim changes

Am I the only one who thinks it looks bad that low with the stock rims? Way too sunk in for my taste. Need a better offset to drop it that low and pull it off.

Should have stated that is was suspension links and that would have made alot more sense. Thanks for the link though, cheaper alternative to JIC and if they are decent quality, wouldn't be bad to have a set of cheaper arms for a drift build.

looks good! i have the same setup but the rear is raised a bit cause my exhaust scrapes everywhere. I think i might switch to stance soon though.

No scrapes over here, but the suspension is still settling. I've got some nasty negative camber building up. Going to tweak it tonight when I get a low profile jack

Yeap, already got one. I will try and wash my car tomorrow and take some pics before it gets all cloudy. The suspension has settled more. Got aligned, -1.6 rear camber.
