Bruce_ to answer you, I believe those of with a camber kit have all gone with SPC. pretty popular around this forum in general.
thanks tev. The first thing I want to do is get a nice set of wheels and get the stance perfect before I get anything else done. It seems like endless research. Cheaper to do things right the first time

Agreed! I just hope I can do some tucking with my offsets and such. I have a feeling I won't need spacers, but would like to get my rears to tuck in a bit more. They seem to stick out JUST a tad, but I think that will be taken care of with some minimal rolling, I too don't want to do much with that, so it doesn't look hideous. On the plus side I won't be needing any spacers with my config

I haven't seen Trev posting lately, so I thought I would throw up something funny in his absence!

Ohhh Mikey, how you're so far behind He actually had the car for sale for a good couple months, and I had dibs on the trunk^^. He decided to keep it though, which is juuuust fine. Tevi and myself both have the hook-up for the same exact trunk, probably better fitment, and functionable rear camera hole.

As for stance, its very agressive. He's on bags, so he very rarely rides like that. Great for a photoshoot, not great for DD.

That's just the grinding the rears. For your offsets, if you want to keep the stance height your at right now, you're going to have to actually relocate your bracket. This "DIY" is when Brian just had my current offsets (+37) running 285 series tires.
