No, this is running the factory bolts and alignment. I had hoped to add some negative camber with crash bolts but it looks a little tight.

Do you happen to know your alignment specs in the front? Looks like there's very little space to dial more negative camber in.

Will your wheels rub with 2 degrees of negative camber? ...let's say with a 255/40/17 tire.

I'm essentially looking for something that will not rub at full lock, yet having the ability to clear everything even with mild drop springs later down the road when I decide to lower the car and add camber bolts.

No, I'm sorry I haven't had it aligned yet as I'm waiting on camber plates to arrive. I'm guessing it's pretty close to zero or whatever the factory specs is though. I doubt you could dial in any significant camber with bolts unless you used a 3mm wheel spacer to add a little more perch clearance.

With camber from the Com-C top hats, no. I have that now.

Love the license plate! Lol

How many degrees are you running with the top hats?

How much camber are you running?

I am running -1.2deg with 18x8" ET 49 , 235/40R18. I am planning to switch to 17"x9" et 40, but clearance is too narrow now.

I'm sorry I haven't had it aligned yet as I'm waiting on camber plates to arrive. I'm guessing it's pretty close to zero or whatever the factory specs is. Your et40 offset is about an ideal compromise between tire poke and strut clearance with a 9" wheel. Which wheel were you considering?

Here is mine with 17x9 +45 offset with 225/45/17 tires.

Very nice, any rubbing at all? Been looking at 17x9 +45s but hearing that it rubs at full lock on stock suspension..

So far no rubbing, I took it to the track last weekend and no problems.
