I run as much as I can with Ksport Kontrol Pro's.
Only about 2 degrees

I still see a bit of wear on the side tread/sidewall so I need a bit more.

Around 3.5 deg Front, we mainly drive fast tracks though. Doesn't matter so much for slow tracks.

lol I guess iM still a noobie. I l try this, set some neagtive camber and see if it helps me get more steering.. it should be dope!

no wonder after el toro event [70-90 mph drifts] my front wheels [18x9.5 215/35/18]outer side walls edges were bald, and had alot of random flat bald spots.. must be making that front smoke lol and positive camber

i've been sliding a sil80 for the past year, and i really must say it is po-po. best substitue for sliding a 7 is sliding a rx8.

Paint it purple and prove there is no purple car curse.......

Sweet coupe.

If my buddy josh gets one like he's planning on (selling his bagged blazer for it) i'm going to be so jealous. Found one for $1000 that needs a rad. Found an at hatch for $850 that runs good too. I almost sold my coilovers so i could buy it!
