I need you guys to check out and make sure my camber is ok.

My rear wheels look a BIT in on the top...
JUST A TOUCH.

they're supposed to Kent..
let's see what it looks like first..
the pro-kit is only supposed to be a 1" drop, so i can't see you being as low as me, tho maybe they dropped it a little more on the sedans..
imo, don't worry about the camber..you should be 1", i'm almost 2"..it'll hug better in the turns

camber lit'll cost ya $250 (you get the ingalls and i'll hurt ya, they're crap..)
if anything go SPC (specialty products)..they get a thumbs up on all levels..
and if you are as low as me, you won't want to adjust it..
if i corrected mine i'd scrape every bump i hit..with it the way it is (like 3 degrees) i haven't scraped once..

I presume the springs take 24 hours to settle... so I'll see how low it is after 24 hours also

How about if I get Eibach camber kit?

You guys can see how it looks like tomorrow (FOR SUREZY!)

It looks real nice IMO!

Ride quality is not bad too! It sucks up those bumps real good on the 401 Westbound...
But the biggest potholes send shivers up my spine.

PIctures will come tonight if I get home in time.. or they'll just have to wait till tomorrow morning.
I'm down @ Ryerson right now.. so after I get off.. I get home.. it'll be dark.. I'll try and take a picture but I won't guarantee it'll come out nicely

It may take a little longer to settle...maybe just a bit under a week to settle completely under normal driving conditions...My car took about 1.5 weeks to completely settle.

yup.. just kidding..

they'll settle slower than that Kent..
so slow you'll hardly even notice it happening, tho i'd say no more than 1.25 inches on the pro-line..
