First get your wheels, then go from there......... you wont know how much camber you need until you have wheels.

The cambered look eh? Just keep in mind, you have to pay to play. Those are arent enough. Listen to Kped. Get your wheels first and go from there. What width and offset are you planning to run anyway?

You don't necessarily *need* adjustable toe arms/mega arms to run a cambered look. Being 'cambered' just includes you having wheels and a drop to where you tuck the wheels into the fenders. it doesn't take aftermarket suspension to do that.

The reason for aftermarket is to give you more adjustability on how much camber you can run or want to run.

Guess I'm off track with this lol... I'll just stick to a simple drop with a staggered set of wheels seems less problematic

[QUOTE=randee973;7004868]Plan on going 8.5 front 9.5 or 10 rear[/

If you are going to want to run anymore camber that 4 deg front and like 5 deg rear your going to need different arms and there is 2 different ways to get more camber depending on the look you want.

I am running -9 front and -17 rear with Studio suspension parts.

Any questions let me lnow
