We've had problems with 17x9+63 front wheels hitting the suspension arm after installing the SBC joints
I try to keep from using full steering lock. I rub my brake ducts too at full lock with those wheels and 255 tires.

It depends on your camber setting. Too much negative camber will make this a problem.

Hey guys, just an update. I need to pick up another set of the Hardrace camber joints, and talked to VelocityShop. They're expecting it to be in at the end of the month. I'll keep you posted when they arrive!

Got my car aligned with the J's S1 (blue) ball joints. The shop could only get -2.7 degrees of negative camber. Car is lowered 3/4"

I was looking for -3.5. Hopefully the -2.7 will work for me. If not, I'll be selling a very low mileage set of S1s on s2ki.

I'm pretty sure dc_s2k is lowered by about 3/4 inch.

Just a quick update, for those waiting for the Hardrace Camber joints to come in, I was told they'll be in mid-July fyi.
