Yes both front and rears have been rolled flat and slightly pulled the rears about 5-6mm the fronts about the same, rear bumper tab has been removed and trimmed in there, I was speaking to a guy who set's up cars for track, he said for daily driving its to much camber, when I see him ill tell him I want it setup for track. im going to stiffen my coils to the max, tell me if this is correct, depending on your height there's only a certain amount of camber you can run, e.g. if you are very low can you run more camber?

Don't have to pull the fronts for 245s to fit on a 17x9 +45. Just a roll will suffice.

Good to hear, I'll be fitting 245's all around in the next week or so after my wheels come in. My fenders have been rolled flat.

There is a pretty good range of adjustment on the factory alignment equipment. I'd just take it to someone who still does manual alignments, and have him check it out. It is true though that the lower you are, the more negative camber you can dial in, however I'm lowered to the point of zero wheel gap and I got -4 degrees without even maxing out the adjustment, so I'm sure you'd be fine.

As far as maxing the stiffness all the way around, you can try it, if it seems too jumpy in the rear, I'd soften the rear a bit. Basically you want it as stiff as you can get it, but without anything getting real bouncy over bumps or if you clip the inside curbs on an esses or something.

As far as camber and daily driving, I drive my car pretty spirited, and have put on 23k miles in the past year. I have only been through 2 sets of rears in that time, using Star Specs. That's with anywhere between 3 and 4 degrees negative camber and 1/8" total toe-in on just the rear. The front is @ 0 toe.

O, and a random pic I took of DrJekyll's car. If he wants me to remove it I will:

18x10, damn that's going to look crazy. Can't wait to see.
My 17x10s won't be here until late Nov.
