@Vten congrats on the rims/drop! Anyone else that buys the 527's in 17x8.25 PLEASE WEIGHT THE RIMS BEFORE MOUNTING TIRES!! I forgot to do it and no one else has posted it either. Thanks in advance.

By the way, installed the OEM front camber bolts and got alignment done today; the bolts only add about -1.2 camber so tires still poke a bit more up front than back but its an improvement. Also, don't let the dealer mark up the bolts, i called 4 different dealers until one sold them for a little over $5 each (others charged up to $15 each..)

@JackSmiley Your car looks awesome the way it is imo. Doesn't look like you need anymore poke for it haha but it's your car. I wish I coulda taken some pics of your car during the drive on Saturday. Btw did you do the modulating bottom brake light yourself or did you have someone else/shop do it for you? Looks pretty sick following behind you.

Thanks man! Im gonna be cambering the fronts and rears and if your wheels dont poke as muc you'll have a super tucked wheels that dont look as good. I bought the foglit kit from FNA they have a thread here at the exterior mods category, install was all me which wasnt that complicated. I'll help you out on that if ever you want to do yours.

FYI my car is an asphalt, but looks like an ultramarine in the pic.
