Lol, I'm only at 50% camber on stock arms & rods. I think the wheel width makes it appear different, the center line on the camber bolts is pointing down and the toe should be pretty close to zero'd out. Will have legit alignment specs within the next couple weeks once I dial in the tire sizing.

Mud guards are in my trunk. The rest of my aero is off for the time being, so I took those off as well, haha.

Lucky! I can't take my sideskirts off without it taking a lot of energy lol. There are 4 plastic ribbed fasteners that push into holes I drilled into the bottom of the car and it's impossible to get the damn things out without screwing them up. Eventually I think I want to get the skirts molded on.... Thoughts?

And yeah a legit alignment will be great as you can show the numbers with everyone I'd like to know how much camber youre running.

Oh and your wheel specs aren't in the guidelines to
Qualify for this thread now are they?

Lol, I was thinking about the specs thing too!

19x11.5 ET31 spaced out to ET28 at the moment, so we should be good now

I wouldn't recommend molding the skirts personally.

Damn stock height is so much higher than I remember.
