Directional tires are OK side to side. . .they'll still be rolling "forward" and what was on the inside will now be the outside after swapping sides. The ones that can't go side to side (or actually "flip" on the same rim) are ones with asymmetrical tread designs, like the Falken Azenis 615 and the new Bridgestone RE11 (among others of course). On those tires, the tread is different on the inside edge of the tire vs the outside edge, so the inside should always be on the inside.

OP, I wouldn't worry too much about going to -2 (or less) camber. As long as the toe settings aren't too out of whack and all the miles aren't only on the highway, you should be OK, especially if you flip the tires occasionally.

 

so what camber setting would you guys recommend me getting to make em tuck a little better. i do plan to lower her a few inches in the next few months...

alright i had the only local shop i trust around here adjust the camber today. i went with -3 on the rear and -1.4 on the front, he had it at -1.5 but the computer kept jumping back and forth so we called it even. also the wife made a bargin with me last night so i ordered a set of megan racing street coilovers from statikperformance.rpmware.com and got a really good deal, plus a free underseat air freshener lol. and i also got some eyelids off of ebay for 5 bucks with free shipping... all in all a very eventfull 2 days... i'll post pics after i get everything put on.

btw, my wifes bargin was that i could get all the stuff if i quit smoking and promise to go to church with her 2 times a month... im gonna miss you mister nicotene

 

Sounds like a good bargain to me. better health and $ tospend on the car. eric if your fronts rub after lowering it, let me know and we can pull the fronts out for more clearance.
