My Redeisigned SBM GS400
Love the colour , send the car back to get the orange peel wetsanded out as it gets real bad on the 1/4's.
Please don't disgrace such status rims by putting ghetto Nankangs on them those are for LDR knockoffs.
Anyway nice car.

Thank you, I convinced the shop to give me back the car for the BBQ but it is going back to get everything finished. I actually like the nankangs they stretch real well and with the amount of camber I have its not worth spending $2-300 per tire just to throw them away.

Driveable? The car is very driveable just depends on amount of passengers or weight if it will rub. Risk of damage is another issue all by itself, I live in NYC damage is the name of the game here I have seen stock cars get damaged.
Rear is maxed out full negative I would estimate -5 degrees of camber. Havent put it back up on the rack but as I was sitting at the height full positive yeilded me a -2.5 degrees on the left and -3.0 degrees on the right. Toe and caster was within acceptable specs. Front is maxed out full positive but due to the drop front camber is at -2.2 and -1.8.
If you dont shave it and attempt to roll it you are adding another layer to the rear quarters and run a high risk of dimpling the quarter since the when you remove the metal trim on the lip it leaves holes which do not give you a level surface to roll. The way that I initially did it was that I rolled it flat, it was a mistake it put an extra 3mm of metal on the inside of the quarter. The proper way to do it is to cut the rear lip but be careful not to hit the seams and than roll the rest of it flat. That will give you a level surface in order to apply equal pressure and prevent you from dimpling the quarter.
the thing thats not clear to me still, is how much does one shave before he can roll it nicely.
