It's pretty crazy how your post is right before mine haha, I just got my squared 265/35 Continental DWS installed today, lowered on Tein Flex Z, with 18x9.5 TC1015N's. I was considering getting a Stance or Voodoo13 LCA as well, but the drop on those are pointless with Flex Z so now I'm eyeing the Velox LCA...

Haha yeah it is. I love the flex Z's and the DWS tire, it grips good and looks great, the tread wear is awesome to. I got my LCA for a steal so i went with stance. The main reason I went with stance v2 is because it adds wheels travel when you go low and i originally intended to go as low as possible. I still am going to just not yet.

BTW i love that color man that was my first choice but i love my galaxy blue.

that's ironic, WRB and GBS were definitely my top two choices, I got a good deal on DGM so I went with it, since it was a close third for me.

One thing about Flex Z is that no matter how low you go, there is no change in the spring travel distance. I would get a Stance or Voodoo13 if I am upgrading the coilovers for sure

BC Coilovers. 0.08 toe in as well, -3.5* front camber with toe at 0.

This isn't my first rodeo with camber. I used to run -6.4* (natural from just the drop) on a double wishbone front suspension and drove that like a madman. Rears were around -4.5. Tires lasted me 10-12k miles. Completely negligible to me so don't use tire wear as an explanation as this is less than half of that specific set up. Oh and that was with 360 treadwear which isn't much...

My car is very reactive to input which I want and has no negative effects, no squirelly, no unstable high speeds from toe or camber, etc.

Does everyone forget that toe kills tires, not camber?

I have unstable high speeds, horrible rain traction, and car pulls left/right when coming to a stop as if its pulling to every groove on the street. Shop that did my alignment I'm sure murdered my alignment. Been thinking of hitting up AZP installs or Motoeast for correction + install of my LCA's....SIGHHHHH

rain traction depends on tires also.

unstable at high speeds likely means toe is an issue. everyone should toe in the rear slightly for that stability.

the car wanting to follow groves is normal for a car with a more aggressive alignment and tires, it will tramline no matter what you do.

just go to AZP, alignment isn't expensive there, and get yourself a set of SPC arms. they are 250 installed at AZP. also not expensive compared to the other garbage out there that will seize.

Rain traction is almost exclusively down to tires (compound and tread abilities). And WIDE summer tires are just asking to hydroplane.

Also generally speaking the more aggressive your alignment is for going around corners the less it wants to go in a straight line.
