You are incredibly naive. You know that as a general rule, cars run negative camber, so you make the leap of faith that negative camber HAS to be good for the car, without qualifying what range it should fall into.

Then you know that as a general rule, lower ride height and lower cg is good for a car, so you make the leap of faith that being lower HAS to be good for the car, without qualifying what range it should fall into.

Just because you have negative camber and a lower ride height doesn't mean it's good for the car in terms of performance. Please stop using retardation to justify this awful trend.

Holy fack..stance is a look not a performance upgrade! people dont set there cars up with the stanced look to go to the track, ask anyone of these dudes that have stanced cars. Why is this subject even being discussed its two different worlds especially when there stanced to extremes and thats what its supposed to be a new school look

Did you discredit anything I said with fact? I don't think so. So continue to TRY and insult me. Whatever you need to make your E-Peen feel larger, continue to roll with it. Lmao

What facts would you like to know? You can go too low, you can have too much camber. Handling performance is a combination of a million different variables. It's not a game of absolutes where "lower is better" and "camber is better", so it's moronic to sit there and pretend that just because a stanced car is lower and has a lot of camber that it is going in the correct direction in terms of performance.

It's like saying that viewing things in a vacuum, putting stiffer springs on your car will increase performance. It's a completely ridiculous statement.

Anyway - stanced is the new rice. It will pass and everyone will look back and laugh at all the embarrassing and ruined cars. The number one way to tell if something is a stupid fad is to look at the demographic making the modifications. If it's localized to a small group of people, chances are it's a horrible fad that will pass in time.

You are correct. There were four wheels in the back of the car, and I hadn't yet adjusted my coils. Adjusted properly now with a raked stance, back is a bit higher than front.

Need camber arms/plates...wtb ~-1.0 more degree up front & controllable camber in rears & flattened rear fenders for wider wheels! Taking donations.





Though seriously, I haven't yet looked into anything...I'm on KW V2s, which sadly have no camber adjust-ability, what plates/arms have you guys ran?
