once you are lowered, you can not get back to stock settings without supporting suspsenion mods. im on tein springs/stock shocks and im still -1.5 and -2. that is with stock ball joints and such. the shop maxed out my camber as best they could to get it back to stock specs.
Yep, I'm the same way with Espelir ASD springs. Shop could not get it back to OEM camber specs. After about 20K miles on my rear Azenis, they looked like this:

I never said you can't. But I bet after 13-14k his tires were unsafe to drive on. You're not supposed to run the tires into nothing before replacing.

But it's more fun that way!

Just kidding. Yes, they were quite unsafe quite a few K miles prior to this picture. In the rain, I would never go above 45mph. Even in the dry, turning at almost any speed would make the rear end wiggle. In the snow....HA!

This wear was done on primarily highway use (100+ miles a day) for about a year and a half and one HPDE.
