thanks, yes the camber settings are all factory right now. Im going to roll the fenders and subtract a few degrees of camber to help tuck the rims/tires into the fenderwell.

Nice, I'd love to run factory camber settings but I slammed the gs. At your ride height do you rub on full lock turns?

ill be adding some negative camber to tuck the rims/tires into the fender well, and ill be rolling the fenders as well. and I've got it as low as i can get it without bottoming out on everything. roads here in iowa aren't very smooth, lol. it rubs a little bit on half lock.

Watch out while rolling the front fenders. There's a tab that makes it "uneven" if done wrong. I had my rears shaved. Id also be wary of going super low. While driving, my rear tires grabbed the fender liner and ripped it out on the freeway somewhere.

thanks for the tip on rolling the fronts, ive been super busy lately and havent gotten around to rolling them or adjusting the camber yet. Car has been sitting in the garage for nearly 2 months now, only moved it once to wash the dust off of er in the driveway, lol. Shes riding about as low as i want to go right now, any lower and the front upper ball joint nuts smack the shock tower too much. I think im goung to end up getting the megan racing front upper control arms. The SPC ball joints i have now just dont do it for me... other than rolling the fenders i wont have many more updates until spring rolls around. I plan on stock piling parts over the winter, then going to work on er again when early spring rolls around so shes ready for late spring/summer cruising.

finally got it into the shop for another alignment and got the camber set -1 degree from factory settings all the way around. virtually no rubbing now unless I'm cornering hard or hit a pretty significant bump/dip in the road. still going to roll the fenders just to be safe.
