Squeaky tight there Furlow, I'm a fan!
Really looking forward to reviews from you & Zahy on those new Continental, nice looking tread for sure!
Oh, and more pics when you get them completely up & running
It's been three years, I just wanted to be certain. Glad I did because my toe was a little off and my front suspension has settled. I'm now -2 in front with 1/8 toe in and -1.25 in rear with 1/16th toe in. My rear control arms held strong for 3 years. Now I'm considering getting the front kit to get that camber closer to spec and save my tires. It'll also make the fronts look less tucked, which I don't like.
That looks great ^^^ that planted feeling by running wide is also a big plus IMO.
Alignment looks great in back and might monitor your front wear for the first 3k miles then decide, but having them all well in spec is also a good way to go.
Looks really good Furlow. I'm sure you posted this already but what are you running up front? And what's considered in spec? I'd say your rear camber is perfect for the street; front could probably be around -1.25 to -1.5. I would not zero them out; they may roll over + scuff your sidewalls and rims during hard driving. Good to know that all I need is a front camber kit

Fronts are 20x9 +32 offset with 255/35. I have a camber kit in the rear, I was told I'd need only that. At the time I was -1.5 in the front which was close enough for me. But now they're a little outside my comfort zone. I'll do what blnewt suggested and just monitor the tire wear for a while. Good point about not zeroing them out, I hadn't thought of that. You think -.5 would be enough to avoid that? Just not sure I can justify $400 for the kit and $300-$400 for install.. Hell with that I could have all the motor mounts switched to polyurethane like I want to.
I think Rochester is set just about like you, just a rear SPC kit w/ front camber at a bit over -2, and AFAIK his front wear has been pretty reasonable. Would be good to confirm it from him since he's also running quicker wearing Summers.

-1 to -1.5 is ideal. Main thing is to get toe zero'd out. I agree that -2 is too much, for the street at least.
Then again I've had Hondas about that negative without wear being too bad. But the FM chassis is a different breed.
