Man, how are some of you guys getting so much camber. Does everyone slot their tophats?

I want to say I'm moderately lowered on rebled/tinkered with Megan coilovers, but could only manage -1.7* camber on one side, and -2.0* on the other. I assume something may be bent on my car, but i'm still maxing out at -2*.

I bought mine from Villians; they're based out of Oregon. I tried extending mine, but ended up melting the plastic bushing inside of them, so this was the most economical option.

They actually have super cheap angle kits if you don't have the means to fab anything yourself.

Did you go with there angle kit as well? How's your inner wheel clearance?

Nope, I just purchased the extensions.

I shortened my knuckles and extended my outer tie rods. I'm running 17x8.25's at about 55 degrees, and i have about 1/2" of clearance from the frame. I want to throw my 17x9 spares on and run way more tire if i can, but i want to change my KPI by modifying my coilover sleeves. I'd def be rubbing with those bigger wheels.

I'd rather not throw on huge spacers and increase my scrub radius for the sake of angle and tire. However, increasing my KPI is going to affect my rate of camber change while turning.

Then again, I haven't been drifting long enough to really know if having a minimal scrub radius matters.
