this coming from the guy with stripes on his car.
I dropped mine on springs, about a 1.5" drop. My camber in the rear is maxed out positive, and i still have negative 2 degrees. How are you guys getting away with this much of a drop, without crazy tire wear?

Highrpmek... You have to buy a coilover that will let you drop the car without losing shock travel. The JIC magic I have allows me to drop the car without losing shock travel. I take it you are running springs and stock shocks, or are experience with a cheap coilover system.
Actually I run stock suspension because it's that good. I don't have any suspension mods. Just look at any JIC, Tein, etc. rear shock next to the OEM rear shock and you will see without the remote resevoir it's impossible for these kits to have the same travel as stock. Also consider Showa (a reputable company, esp. with street bikes) make the stock shocks, they have better internals and more durable fluids.
its a matter of personal choice really. Since my car is mainly street driven and sees the track only twice a yr i like it to look nice. I have lowered it on coilovers which allow me to adjust height and damper accordingly. I agree the ride isnt as good as stock but i dont mind it. Its all upto how you want your car, cus at the end of the day...its your car so u can do what u want.
