Looks great, nothing like a dropped car.

My one experience with lowering a car is that it creates negative camber that cannot be dialed out with normal alignment. Is this true in all cases? Makes for great cornering and turn ins but is hell on the inside of the tires.

i think it can be dialed out but to a certain degree as told by a shop.

Hi,

nice, but for my opinion too low on the back. I don't like it if the tire is already partially hidden.

hey joe did you end up getting the fenders rolled? I notice the prokit looks lower on the back with your ride than other cars installed with the same springs.

Nice setup!
I am in the process in lowering my car too with the same spring setup. Do you have a sub box system in the back? Did not realize that prokits lowered it that low in the back. I was trying to avoid that look.
