    haah well not really but i hope you guys can shed some light on how to get my suspension to sit like this in the rear. and hopefully others can add pics and their imput. but first of all i daily drive my car so its important for it to be in driving shape and not pure show. i dont mind running thats fine but yeah

    well i have stasis streets right now and the ride is pretty good. im planning on upgrading to some 19's soon and i wanna know how and what i need to get this perfect stance. as far as cambering being an issue thats fine ill buy tires more often thanks again!!







    if im not mistaken those are both ur cars and the 3rd is just one i found on my compu. thanks guys!

    just go LOWWW, mine got some negative camber just from the drop.

    if i'm not mistaken there's a bolt shaped kinda like a cam which you turn (on the top of the rear suspension, behind the rotor) to dial in your camber. it's not hard - just hard to get even without an allignment machine or a camber gauge (they make ones that you clamp on your wheel which tells you how far in or out you've set it)

    Set your camber to -2 degrees and set your toe as close to zero as possible. 10" wide wheels in the rear with stretched tires would be the only thing you need to add to look exactly like the Capt. (18x10) and Ravi (19x10)

    You are already low enough, if I can remember right, to pull the look off. All you need now are the proper wheels. Keep in mind they had to run that setup to prevent rubbing

    Yup, cam bolt on the top of the rear spindle/hub (whatever it's called) behind the rotor. You'll have to play with it a little bit, but I think somewhere in the neighborhood of 1/2 - 3/4 of the way to max will get you -2 degrees. You'll have to play with it a little. To make the adjustment easier, use a jack to compress the suspension about halfway when you loosen and adjust the cam bolt.

    I get PM's about this all the time, I think I might make a camber adjustment DIY this weekend...

    You'll need a 18 mm ratchet and wrench to do the adjustment. Oh and you will need leverage, that bolt is on tight.

    haha, one of those PM's where me, lol

    I remember though you told me I would need two jacks...one to jack up the car and one to jack up the suspension.

    I found that using one jack was fine...just jack the car up from under the suspension to start....but i guess that depeneds on how low you are
