[QUOTE=Logo,Mar 27 2008, 03:44 AM] Why wouldn't I be able to dial in more camber?

IIGQ4U, I won't settle for rubbing!

I just don't want to roll my fenders unless I do rub. I know I can get atleast -2.4. If I had to go -3 or more I'd definately just roll as that's too much for as much street driving as I do. What I'm going to do is remove the coilover assembly, hook up a wheel, and compress the suspension and I'll know for sure.

I haven't gotten any confirmed rubbing yet. I thought I had some very minor and brief rubbing once yesterday on a long sweeper with a bump in the middle. However, I couldn't find any signs later. There was still a coating of dirt on the lip protector and no scuffs on the tires.

hey thats me

Yes I cut mine and it took me an amazing 10 minutes to do both sides of the rear. I still have to clean them up and smooth them out a bit but I have A LKOT more clearance already. I run every now and then on the bumper itself like it was said above so I still need to noth that out some more. I already relocated the tab too. I have a Euro Spec alingment so -2 camber in the rear

I have a 17x9 +45 rear with a 255, I honeslt wouldn't think that you would need to roll yours, that set-up is not aggresive at all, even with a 255 tire. If I had that set-up I would be running at least a 265 and be cambered and rolled

Take off the rubber liner that gives you 2mm of clearance lol

its easy to cut or roll them, either way looks stock and either way is not reversable. Once you roll them your not gonna get them back down and once there cut they are gone for good

I'm about to roll my fenders tomorrow.

How far do you roll the rears fenders? The fender lip runs all the way down to the bottom of the car... where should you stop?
