THIS IS NOT A RANT.
Not trying to argue or disagree with your opinion, to each his own, I totally respect your opinion. I just wanna get this one point across since this is my thread. I know that "excessive negative camber" is highly frowned upon in the car world, especially here in the US. And I agree, there are some car enthusiasts that do it overly exaggerated, and not even me is into that when it comes to my own cars. As I've mentioned in one post, my positive camber is already maxed out, and you can only do too much with these cars' alignment once you modify the height. But that's not even what I'm trying to say.
As I've also mentioned in the OP, this is a VIP style thread/build. With that said, VIP is a STYLE, or an auto fashion in that sense. Like lowriders - which is another form of auto fashion or style. It's been around since the 60's so it's definitely not a fad, and it doesn't make sense either that they can jump and do all sorts of tricks, and so much detail on paint, body work, etc. to the point of it looking too tacky already sometimes, but it still looks so cool and everybody will appreciate the effort put into them and not to mention that most lowrider builds are actually more expensive than what most of us even do here. To be honest that's what I'm really in to, but for me VIP is like the Asian version of lowriding old school Chevy's.
Not to make this a long reply that may start to look like a rant, which it isn't. But if somebody made a build thread about boost or drifting, and I come up to it and comment or post; "that turbo you got on it is too big" or "you're making too much horsepower", it wouldn't make sense doesn't it? My point is, if you're thinking to yourself "I would never understand running too much negative camber", on a VIP styled or stance car, maybe you oughtta understand first the concept of the style the owner is trying to go with ehh? I am not even gonna try and start to explain the concept of the style, since there's plenty of info in the internet just floating around that you can read about. This kind of comments remind me of this to be honest;

Not yet sure on alignment. I seriously just got those wheels to fit the other day. Positive camber is currently maxed out. First thing I made sure was not to run too much negative camber. Not sure if you can visualize how much fender pull I did, but it's pulled an inch out compared to untouched fenders in the rear.
Cant wait to see the next steps!

I did the pull myself, rented a fender roller from Craigslist. Removing the dimples is very easy as I've found out doing this. You just need to keep the roller on that exact spot and stretch it a little bit more for a little while. When you remove it, the dimple should be gone. Although, the fender on the other side is a different story. Previous owner have had work done to it from an accident, and of course the bondo cracked when I did the pull. It'll get fixed though, just not sure how soon. I might patch it up for now just to look decent.

Dunno why negative camber gets such a bad rap. I LOVE THAT SHIZZZ! tastefully done, stanced with nice wheels!
