Your alignment is fine. You're not getting to those stock camber ranges unless you buy a camber correction kit or raise it back up to stock height. New wheels aren't going to change that. I'm confused by your wheels and camber settings though. I'm running -2.7 in the rear with a 19x11+24 and my wheels hit the very bottom of my fenders (they're almost shaved flat). Have you compressed the suspension yet to see if the lip clears the fender? You don't want to find that out hitting big dip at 65 mph.

Gotcha. What size tires are you running? No i haven't compressed the suspension to check clearance of the lip of the rim but im not trying to find out the hard way. I'm actually going to raise it about an inch all the way around so I will check it after that. I actually like the offset of the wheels and the ride on the bc's are surprisingly very smooth on 15 all the way around. My brackets for the BBK will be here today so ill see if i have some free time to test fit the bracket.

I'm running 255/35 nankang ns-20's. Hopefully, you find time to fit the bracket. I am very interested to know how that works out. I currently don't have an area of my own to work on my car so I haven't been able to look into it, but I really would like to start stacking parts if I know it will work.

It's a pain when my cars on the interstate because hitting dips at 60 mph results in my fender and lip kissing.

Just tracked the bracket and it's here. I'll at least try to mount the bracket to see how/if it fits. tiger are you still at the same height as the picture? What suspension are you on?

Pics here in my build thread. Megans EZs which have 10/8 springs.

First let me say it is very well made and comes with all of the hardware needed to install everything. I did get a chance to see how well it fit. First i lined it up with the caliper bracket and the bolts line up perfectly. When i tried to mount it the cut out for the hub on the bracket was too small so i'm guessing the circumference of the hub on a gs is bigger. It looks like if you take off about a half inch off the bracket facing the hub it will fit perfectly. It definitely looks like it will clear the tie rod end and the rest of the suspension. Hopefully this weekend i can mock up a bracket from cardboard and see if i can cut it to make it fit. If anyone has any input on how I can get these to fit feel free to chime in. Here are some pics.




Also if anyone has a tte lip real or rep please shoot me a pm

I don't know if you know, but the bracket is supposed to mount on the inside. I think LRD told me that but I found this picture of an sc with the bracket on the inside.

Gotcha. I thought it mounted like the factory bracket. I'll take another look tomorrow once I get off work. Thanks.

Tried out the vette caliper bracket and only the bottom hole lines up. The top hole hits against the the arm going to the upper ball joint.
I'm going to try and mock up a cardboard bracket to see if I can't get a bracket made. Does anybody know if the position /angle of the caliper changes anything? I know some vehicles have the calipers towards the front of the car and some towards the rear?

You have the bracket the wrong way. The bracket goes the other way. You can tell because the big cutout is to go around the spindle on the sc. The ears are for the calipers. You can see the ears pointed out on the picture of the sc I posted above. After you turn it the other way, you're probably are going to have to trim the side facing the spindle. Those triangles will probably have to come off and that side will be flat similar to the bracket above. I think the bracket can work, it just needs trimming.

When you put it the correct way, the lower ear will come closer to the lower ball joint. It may clear, but you'll see why I was concerned about that.

Lrd told me that the highest point of the bracket should be at the top. The bracket that you have pictured is slightly different from the one I have. I'm going to try it that way and see what I come up with. Either I'm going to make it work.
