17's on white just make the cut but your next investment has got to be 18-19 like everyone is saying. The other car I would laugh if you pulled up to me bro, but that is just my opinion-MOE

I wonder if this obsession has a subliminal connection with the "drop-down" way of wearing pants where the butt is hanging between the knees?

Hey, is there a camber kit I can get for my car that DOESN'T cost over $100, let alone $1k? My friend's Mitsu Eclipse uses camber bolts @40USD, which i'm fine with, but it seems there's only camber "plates" @400+USD out there for sale. Is there any way around this?

I bought H&R springs, but I want to drop extra with the spring pads, but I won't use the pads unless I can fix the camber at the same time...

The White car almost makes it, but the other, needs rims. Other than that they look good.

??? Where did you find camber plates for the coupe?

You can get camber bolts for the front from the dealer from what I understand but I dropped my coupe with the H&R Sport Springs and the stock rear spring pad (others had gone to number 4 pad because the rear was too low, I have the #1 pad) and the camber is fine. And... there are no spring pads for the front.

btw, who would want to drop a C-Class that low but cutting the springs??? Not this guy! The Cs look bad, particularly without wheels.

I am not a fan of camber bolts...during severe stress, ie. racing or hitting a large pot-hole they tend to shift and throw the camber off.
