If i remember correctly it was -35. But maybe, i think ill be fine once I pull my fenders. I plan on running -5 degree camber on the rear wheels and 2-3 degrees on the front.

Yeah i am poking on every wheel by about a quarter inch. im hoping that will go away with the drop and camber. If its not enough ill have to pull the fenders. But thank you! I havent really seen anybody go extreme VIP with our cars before, especially in my area (Seattle, Wa).
