Jin, were you able to get those camber specs off the stock arms, or do you have aftermarket arms in the rear?? Is your car on air or static? Looks great nonetheless

how do you like rolling on 35 series on the 18's? I was originally thinking about going with 35 instead of the 40 I'm rolling on, but I decided to go with 40 for the extra ground clearance and the tiny bit of a softer ride for my daughter.

Ya I'm on stock arms, I think they are pretty much maxed out, while being able to keep toe in spec. I might be able to get a tiny bit more. I'll prolly find out in the next couple weeks as I wanna redo my alignment again. I'm rolling static.
