No one has any new pics of their cars? I just put Swift springs on last Saturday and adjusted things a bit.

fixing the camber bolts will be pricey cause the bushings come with the arms, which means I need to buy new arms :/

My Nitto Invos didn't last very long. Going back to Bridgestone Potenza RE 050A for now. I've been wondering, is there one brand/type of tire better than the other for tire wear with higher camber, or just keep buying tires like I do? Jus wonderin.

IIRC, Toe causes excessive tire wear, not camber. I am pretty cambered (if that's a word) and I am not having any excessive tire wear.

CANT pinpoint. lol sorry bout that. ive looked many times and there is no sign of rubbing anywhere.... aside from the massive rub marks from when a tire may have exploded mid drift at or around 60 mph... lol that was fun.

but yea they are rolled and the little tabs are shaved. still rubbs on bumps... no clue why

compress one corner by either driving out of a driveway and stop when the wheel is fully compressed or go over a speed bumper and stop when the wheel is fully compressed and do the credit card check. where the card gets stuck is where you're rubbing. if the card doesn't get stuck, you're not rubbing your fender. that's how i found out where i was rubbing harharhar. ohyeah and once you find out where you're rubbing, don't forget to grind that mother ******* down. do.not.forget.

make sure you're axle is not rubbing underneath. that happened to me once when I wanted to go real low and drive up a driveway. only on the right side, the left side is shaped differently and didn't rub.

How does one reseal a multi-piece wheel btw? My friend's two piece Rennen needs resealing and we plan on trying it ourselves.
