i live up in broward so i dont ever go that far south. especially for dealers. but i will make sure to avoid them. whats your beef with them?

My hub bearing was ****ed up. First diagnostic after I paid 140.00 was that I had aftermarket lugs. I replaced them, clicking noise remained. Second time they blamed my Stoptech BBK and apparently they greased the **** out the bearing and clicking noise was gone but now is a grinding noise. I end up buying a new hub from ebay to replace it on my own. I have video posted to confirm that it was the hub bearing.

weird. i had that axle clicking. i had it fixed at davie once. clicking went away. then came back. when i went back to have them check it again i couldnt fit on their lifts because i was too low. so they hand jacked the car up and fixed it again. no noise. and now its back again. i gave up

go to like ramona tire or a normal tire shop

rotations are free and you can get lifetime allignments for that price

In case you want to show the dealer the written policy on the free alighnment, it's in your Warranty Information Booklet (Page 5 on my '09 version):

ADJUSTMENT COVERAGE
Service adjustments not usually associated with the
replacement of parts, such as wheel alignment, are
covered only during the first 12 months or 12,000

miles, whichever comes first.

Only the first one is free at my dealership.

^^ That was something you needed to discuss while purchasing the car.

I am having it done after i put my wheels on ....

What's the con's for not being able to return the camber to oem, when you drop the car? Fuel economy, faster Tire wear or what else?

anyone here? lol

The obvious effects would be decreased steering response, decreased
traction in corners with possible wheel hop, a harsher feeling
ride, and premature tire wear....but it would all depend on
much difference there is from stock. The new set-up may in
fact "feel" like an improvement, when in fact all that is
happening is the new set-up is making the tires do more work
and that may be trade-off you want to make....but it will
come at a cost of increased tire wear and chances are you'll
start upgrading other parts to make them all work better
togeather.....It's kind of like sex. The anticipation is exciting
and once the process begins it's almost impossible to stop
before you're satisfied....lol

how would more - camber decrease steering response and less traction in a corner? have you ever done a track day? have you every had any involvement in any type of road racing? participating or watching? how you never noticed race cars always run negative camber? because it creates better traction and better cornering along with more contact patch while in the corner. your pretty much as wrong as could be on this topic.

Geeze-Louise...clear your head Mr Race Car. Read the question!!!
it's not about racing at the track...it's about how the proposed
modifications will affect handling and tire wear. You are a dope
if you don't think that any suspension mofication will not
affect tire wear negitively in a street driving environment...
Any engineer will tell your that shortening the "springs" with
a shorter stiffer unit makes the tires absorb the additional
physical forces being transferred to the tires by the
added stiffness = greater forces at work at the tire/road
contact point = greater tire beating. You may know
about getting additional handling at the track, but you
sure don't know much about physics or engineering.
If what works on the track worked and was ECONOMICAL
on the road there would be no need for modified race
cars would there? Did you understand that?

i understood the question clear as day. i dont think you did. he asked what the down side was and you stated decreased performance in the cars ability to handle. i think you have some issues reading. not once in my thread did i state anything about wear or the economical effects. i simply corrected your misinformation of facts. adding - camber will never decrease your performance as you stated simple. did you understand that?
