I'm surprised your alignment guy didn't say, "This camber is too much, I can't work on the car. The factory camber settings are there for a reason, and these are far outside of them."

he's one of the few guys in socal that will align a dumped car hahah. apparently he's THE go to guy if you're in the fitment scene. he's done it all. i guess it's like a "since i'm the only one that does it, everyone has to come to me" kind of thing. i don't blame him hahah. more customers for him

here's the sheet if anyone was interested

Actually none of the gay people I know are retarded enough to think that wheels several inches wider than the tire makes any sense beyond some kind of misguided clique dumbassery. Your cooperation to stop failing up our forum with your homophobic comments and total lack of common sense will be appreciated
