I tried driving it like that. I made the camber less because I didn't want so much attention from the 5-0 since I daily my car. All I need now are the Upper Control arms...

Got a set of toe links from FIGS also. I got them upgraded to the Moto rod ends. Will be installing asap. They have excellent build quality as with the camber arms so it was expected

Thanks FIGS!

I also got my hands on the camber/toe arms from megan.

I work at an alignment shop, so i got deez bad boyz installed pretty fast.

if you just get the camber kit. you can go -6 before the toe gets maxed out of alignment.

I needed -8.5+, so i had to get the toe arms too.

the camber is at -8.0 right now.. i can't go up any driveways, the corner panels just lands on the lip of the rims.

Adding camber from the lower links does not give you much clearance for wheels.
