Well.. like 2 years ago.

This was when I bought it ages ago



And after a half-assed paint job.



I could do way better but I've usually got something better to do.

Im gunna lower my car some more tomorrow, and mess with my rear camber a little to stance it a bit. Will there be any reprocussions?

dont say stance unless youre hellaflushing.. camber is the correct term. Only thing i can think of is make sure u camber them evenly which is hard to do unless you have tools or a specific process that isnt judging by eye. Also its always recommended to get an alignment when you make changes to suspension. How low is it now and why are you cambering it?

Wheels are just barely tucking but ibfixed the speedbumps on my road so i can go around them and go lower and I was figuring measure with calipers, thats what i did when i had to raise it up, as for alignment, thats easy but i doubt itllbmatter too much

Measuring what with calipers? The only other way outside of leveling equipment used at shops is some form of line measurement done at home. I cant go into detail but theres info and even a guide i saw on how to do it on the net. Measuring the adjustments on the kit may not and probably isnt accurate because there can be other reasons each side is not identical. This is why u can install springs that have an even drop on each side, go to an alignment shop and stuff is not measuring evenly. Other things come into play. I mean its a start but its not proper way to finish it off. If your alignment is good however then i think if u get the camber as even as u think u can, u can get away with this.

Tryin to hellaflush without wide wheels wont really work either. Might just look sillier than hellaflush. lol If youre going additional negative camber on regular offsets 7" or less width wheel then it'll look funny imo. If youre adding positive camber then thats just more in line with camber correction.

The alignment is good right now but basically im just gunna lower it more and was considering leaving some camber inbthe back as opposed to adjusting it back to perpendicular after lowering, but i dont feel like bothering with the camber if i end up not lowering it enough to camber out some, wich probably wont happen. I am gunna stance it once i get new wheels and coilovers tho, not sure what wheels to get yet.

Imo, you dont have to add any camber unless you have clearance issues. Everytime you lower the car more it naturally cambers. Adding a kit would be for the purpose of having it at a specific setting, either more straight for tire wear or specific suspension setup like track spec. Third would be herrafrush, clearances.

I have kits thats why I was thinking it would be no biggie to adjust. Idk i might just camber it a little tomorrow and see how it looks.
