^ Very true.

In addition to having that slammed look, majority of those 240 guys actually want to utilize their suspension (i.e. drift). I have a couple of friends that own 240s' and partake in the drift scene and they're very knowledgable about suspension tuning.

Not to mention running that much negative camber means your gonna EAT through tires if all you do is typical daily driving (aka driving in a straight line) I had about -2.7* of camber in the rear for a while, lowered with just springs. I didnt drive the car hard enough to notice any difference in handling, but I did notice that I was going through tires every 8-10k miles compared to before when I was going double the distance maybe more on the same type of tires. If you can't afford to pay 400-500 in tires every 5 months, dont put a ton of camber in your set up.

Get your toe in check and your tires will last much longer.

At least get correct tire sizes. The rears should be 245/35/18.

245/35/18 are ridiculously expensive and on a 10 inch rim is a slight stretch but not too much
