Well... It's possible to fit 4 tires and 4 wheels in this car. Not really comfortable, but possible.

Took the car into gran turismo east yesterday. I can't say enough positive things about the guys there. I had a blast talking with the crew and some other customers there while getting the wheels and tires mounted.
They really know their stuff, and will work with you to get the best setup. I ended up with 2.5 negative camber in front and 2.6 negative camber in back. I really need some rear lca's but it'll have to wait. Ride is so different now. Grip for days, and a lot more confidence in the turns. Of course it looks pretty nice too

Yes, the coils were setup to their suggested measurements and I haven't changed them since. However I'm wondering if I could go +1° camber in the rear if I raise it a bit (.25-.5 ").

Measuring from the ground to the fender they're all within 1/8th of an inch or less.
I'll have to double check but I think the rear is the tiniest bit higher. |

The front is 13" from center of wheel to fender, and rear is 13.5." Effectively it's a bit over a 1" drop. |

Ordered dark smoke side markers. The orange is just killing me after going with black wheels. Funny how it's more noticeable now. I didn't even care before.

Some pics from the last Hooked on Driving event at Atlanta Motorsports Park. Overall the car performed wonderfully. What a huge difference over an essentially stock configuration I drove last time. Next time at the track I should have some rear LCAs and a more dialed in alignment.
I'll be going back in July or September... or both lol.
