Im kinda on the fence about camber, I like yours but not anything more extreme than that.

Id run thru sooo many tires LoL!!

dont forget to either notch, and hammer up (lie i did) the front frame rails.
not alot, but a little arc above hte tires, it iwll give you another half and inch or so

I got it sitting half an inch lower, ill see about hammering up those and seeing if that makes any difference. New pics soon.

And ya its a lot of camber but it drives really nice and hendles extremely weel for the camber at slightly above normal drive height.

My coils do look different than those though, not as much threaded area on the rears, but my tire is still sitting on the underside of the fenderwell when all down in the rear.

The fronts are a lot lower, but I still want to go lower, just some more tweaking and more adjusting should do the trick.

thats what a hammer, roller and camber is for

why you think i run so much camber?

If you get a good roller, a torch, and a hammer, you can actually push taht inner tub up and twards the inner fender. to get almost 2 inches clearance.

yeah bro, seriously, add a 15mm spacer, run a few degrees more camber, put in a few hours of heating rolling and banging, and you will be non rubbing in no time

My emitz, i can drive anywhere, with it fully slammed, my bumpers drag, but nothing rubs at all.

I am happy with the camber and fitment right now. I think my camber is just at the point where anymore doesnt look good, so Ill just leave it there, I just want to be able to roll at 0psi so slamming it goin down the freeway is not as violent an experience. I am sure once i get a kit and am in the process of an entire new paint job, Ill be doing some work to get the kit lower, but until then I just want to be able to drive at the height I am at now all down.

My fronts sit just as low as yours do with your new emitz.
