I need to remove my rear wheels to look at the suspension set-up. So i guess when you lower one of these vehicles the kit does not supply either a shorter lower arm or longer upper arm? Again, i need to pull the wheel to see if i'm talking correctly because im used to suspension geometry on solid axle 4x4 stuff.

Car suspension is new to me.
right, there is no adjustable control arms included iwth the kit. of course most people dont' lower them as much as some of us do, so the camber is a non issue for htem .

it's also a non issue fo rme,because that camber is part of the look i'm going for. it's a case of form following function though, becuse like puredrifter said, the wheels just won't fit at that ride height. so i lower the hell out of it and add some negative camber if necesary, and wow, the wheels fit!
yeah it wears them out faster but that's part of the game. additionally, i have no interest in performance, vip style is not about performance but looks so it doens't make any difference to me how much tire actuallly contacts the ground.
