Don't feel bad; it took me a minute too.

In short, the wasted effort was in set up and bothering to measure (and buying a camber gauge). Of course if he hadn't done the setup and measured...

I was going to recommend that you contact them directly. Sometimes they can be a bit slow to respond (very busy shop) but usually not too bad and tend to be very helpful.

I think he knew the Caddy was there and made room for him. I was wondering why he held so tight to the inside at the corner exit before the Cadillac came on screen.

I'm particularly impressed with the improvements in the low ranges. That's where you're going to live 90% of the time on the street and it's going to make a huge difference to how the car feels.

That's the one I was thinking of. As I recall it was a 4 point rollover hoop.

I gave you the knowledge, you need to do the further research and calculations yourself. First thing would be finding out how much the fenders and proper installation will cost.

Depends on the tires. I have Indy Firehawks on 8" wheels for my summer set in a 245 and they look to have a pretty square shoulder. Steering is a little 'mushier' feeling (extra width plus possibly a...

8-9 years does sound like it's pushing it but if there's absolutely no cracking (including in the tread area) then I wouldn't worry too much. At the same time they'll probably start cracking soon so...
